The benefits of CDM
CDM projects can help local communities in Africa by providing opportunities for sustainable development, creating employment or increased economic activity, improving air quality, and transferring technology. CDM projects can also earn credits that are tradable and saleable.Lea Ricolcol, "Sunset at the Wind Farm", CDM Project 0453: NorthWind Bangui Bay Project -
Wood stoves in Nigeria
In Nigeria, firewood consumption has led to severe deforestation and desertification. Highly efficient wood stoves are helping to tackle this problem. Households are saving money, youth are finding employment, and time that used to be spent collecting wood is now going to income generation.Yahaya Ahmed, "Learning how to assemble a wood stove", CDM Project 2711: Efficient Fuel Wood Stoves for Nigeria -
