CDM Policy Dialogue

Background

At its sixty-third meeting, the CDM Executive Board decided to launch a policy dialogue to review past CDM experience and help ensure the readiness and positioning of the mechanism to meet the challenges of the post-2012 period.

According to its terms of reference, the policy dialogue should produce recommendations on “how to best position the CDM to respond to future challenges and opportunities and ensure the effectiveness of the mechanism in contributing to future global climate action, based on a wide-ranging assessment of experience, benefits and shortcomings of the CDM and engagement with civil society, policymakers and market participants.”

The Panel

An independent panel has been assigned to engage civil society, policymakers and market participants in a year-long dialogue that was launched at a side event during the UN climate change conference in Durban, South Africa.
