The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is very pleased to invite you to a Breakfast Seminar on CDM in China which will be held on Tuesday 12th of June 2007, 8.30 at Hilton Hotel, Beijing.
This seminar will address: CDM in China: Challenges and Opportunities
With China already feeling the effects of climate change with an increase in the frequency and ferocity of extreme weather events, the resulting ecological, social and economic effects can no longer be ignored.
In the Kyoto Protocol, market-based instruments play a substantial role in achieving the environmental goals of the treaty. The reason for using a market-based system is that it makes it possible to reduce the emission of heat trapping gases while at the same time obtaining efficient allocation of resources. Of these mechanisms CDM is the one that is most important to China. Whilst various reports estimate China potential market share in the number of global CDM projects to be around 50%, significant obstacles remain.
Looking beyond 2012, further uncertainty surrounding the future of CDM has made investors cautious in their investments. Indeed, more recently, some scholars are even questioning the CDM mechanism as a flawed design. So what does the future hold for CDM in China? Why not join us to explore these questions with 3 of the leading experts in the CDM field:
