Investing in Clean Development Mechanism projects
in Brazil
The Commercial Section of the Embassy of Brazil in London and the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Relations, in partnership with the Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology and the Brazilian Development Bank – BNDES, organised an investment seminar, on 2nd June 2010, about Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in Brazil, within the framework of the current Brazilian contributions to the efforts of combating climate change.
The aim of the seminar was to promote foreign investment in Brazil in carbon credit trading and to encourage partnerships to facilitate the development of emission reduction technologies. Among the speakers were representatives from the Brazilian government and the private sector. The event, held at the London Marriott Hotel County Hall, covered topics such as Validation of CDM Projects, Amazon Fund, and Development of the Brazilian Carbon Market.
CDM is the sole mechanism through which industrialised countries with quantified emission reduction and limitation commitments (commonly known as "targets"), established by the Kyoto Protocol, can offset part of these targets by acquiring Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) generated by CDM projects in developing countries. Brazil is a leading market in carbon credit.
