Abstract

In this article the authors discusses the need to revise the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) carbon trading program, which is an international environmental policy for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide. They briefly discuss the assumptions that the CDM was designed with and present four examples of carbon trading projects that are emblematic of the conflict surrounding carbon reduction outlined in the CDM.
