Implementing CDM Projects: A Guidebook to Host Country Legal Issues
UNEP and Baker and MacKenzie
The publication primarily targets project developers and climate policymakers in developing countries, but it is of equal interest to carbon investors. The Guidebook explains through case studies how domestic laws and regulatory frameworks in CDM Host Countries interact with the international rules on carbon trading, and how they can be enhanced to facilitate the implementation and financing of CDM projects.
In particular, the Guidebook:
- provides examples of domestic laws that specifically deal with the implementation of CDM projects;
- illustrates ways in which domestic legal regimes can hinder or facilitate CDM projects, for example, the impact of property, taxation, and financial services laws and regulations on the ownership and transfer of carbon credits;
- shows how domestic environmental and permitting laws affect the local and international approval of CDM projects, as well as their operations;
- highlights how various domestic legal issues and risks are mitigated under prevailing contractual structures for CERs.
The book is a companion to the groundbreaking UNEP - Baker & McKenzie Legal Issues Guidebook to the CDM.
