Clean Development Mechanism
The National Clean Development Mechanism Authority (NCDMA) has accorded Host Country Approval (HCA) to 2, 940 projects. These projects are in the sectors of energy efficiency, fuel switching, industrial processes, municipal solid waste, renewable energy and forestry which spread across the country (covering all states/UTs in India), out of which 1,578 projects from India have been registered under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The NCDMA receives projects for approval under the modalities and procedures of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) as developed by the Executive Board of CDM of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It approves CDM projects that meet the national sustainable development priorities and comply with the statutory and regulatory frameworks.
The Government regularly undertakes capacity-building initiatives and supports CDM projects through workshops, seminars and other activities in collaboration with the industry associations and project proponents in the private and public sector. Several bilateral and multi-lateral funding agencies are also involved in the exercise. CDM Tool Kit was developed in 2007 to promote CDM activities. However, after the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol ended in 2012, CDM market has been dormant due to lack of demand by developed countries. This information was given by Minister of State (Independent Charge) of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Shri Prakash Javadekar, in Lok Sabha today.
