Study on Impact of the European Linking Directive 2004/101/EC (so-called CDM Linking Directive) for Thailand

Impact of the Linking Directive for Thailand

In order for Thailand to fully explore the new market opportunity of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme and the Linking Directive, high-level institutional consultative meeting is a prerequisite. This project organised stakeholder involvement in different sectors in Thailand for exploring potential resources for Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in the country and identifying potential projects. The project advised the Thai government on efficient CDM procedures and how it could play a pro-active role in CDM project identification and development, as well as project risk management, so that Thai CDM projects become both attractive for EU investors and deliver a strong contribution to sustainable development in Thailand.
