CDM Projects
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the UNFCCC offers an exciting possibility for combining the interests of the rural poor with climate change concerns. Large volumes of Carbon Moneys are readily available to undertake sustainable rural development projects.
Grassroots groups, NGOs, people's organizations, Gram Panchayats, etc., need to capacitate themselves in developing and financing CDM Projects, and in the monitoring and sale of Carbon Credits that are generated.
