In a timely contribution to the international discussion of the post-Kyoto climate regime this study hypothesizes that Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in the land use and forestry sector are an efficient instrument for climate change mitigation that contributes to rural development and poverty alleviation at the same time. To this end, the study analyzes socio-economic aspects of a forestry project established under the CDM rules considering an East African case study exemplarily. An agricultural household survey in Tanzania delivered the empirical data for the structural equation model at the center of the analysis. Looking at different farm assets it is shown that the benefits of land use-related climate projects go way beyond pure mitigation. They also have a positive impact on a very broad asset base on which poor farm households depend. Hence, the current CDM only allowing for afforestation and reforestation projects is far too restricted to deliver on its twin objective.

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) was established under the Kyoto Protocol to help countries achieve sustainable development and meet their reduction commitments for emissions of greenhouse gases. The CDM allows developed countries to acquire certified emissions reductions (CERs) by undertaking greenhouse gas mitigating projects in developing countries. This report looks at the technical, financial and institutional aspects of the CDM. It discusses the structure of the CDM's investment function, the various sources of financing available for CDM projects and issues relating to its institutional structure and governance. It finds that the effect of CDM investments could be substantial, if used effectively and with an integrated approach to the other Protocol mechanisms.
