Business Opportunities for CDM Project Development in the Mediterranean
SYNERGY - CDM projects in the Mediterranean
The JIN team participated in the EU Fifth Framework Program SYNERGY project “Business Opportunities for CDM Project Development in the Mediterranean” (May 2003 – April 2005).
The goal of the project ‘’Business Opportunities for CDM Project Development in the Mediterranean’’ was to contribute to the effective application of the Kyoto Protocol in the Mediterranean, through the creation of a favourable environment for the implementation of CDM projects in the region. In addition, the special focus of this project was the identification of appropriate projects in the Mediterranean region, achieving the double-aim of the CDM: a) To reduce the costs of curtailing GHG emissions by providing incentives to industrialized countries to invest in clean energy technologies and energy efficiency in developing countries; b) To enhance the efforts of the developing countries to achieve sustainable development.
