Abu Dhabi: In order to facilitate the implementation of projects within the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in the UAE, procedures for submitting requests for CDM projects and the evaluation method was adopted by the CDM Executive Committee in its latest meeting, held recently under the chairmanship of Majid Al Mansouri, Secretary General of the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi. This process took into consideration efficient and quick procedures to avoid delay in projects.
CDM is one of the flexible mechanisms set by Kyoto Protocol that helps address the issues of global climate change through a market-based concept. CDM will assist the UAE in achieving sustainable development and in contributing to the ultimate objective of the convention.
In order to develop a strategy for implementation of CDM at the national level, the committee has set the sustainable development criteria to be followed while reviewing projects proposed for implementation under CDM and granting initial approval prior to submission to the higher committee for final approval. Thus, the UAE will be the first country in the region to set these criteria.
