The CDM/JI Initiative of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment

Promotion of German participation in CDM and JI projects

The Kyoto mechanisms Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) und Joint Implementation (JI) can serve companies that are doing business or want to start business as international technology providers as an additional instrument for finance and as an opportunity to employ higher quality technology instead of simple solutions. In addition, the mechanisms’ international framework often helps reducing institutional risks in host countries.

The Federal Ministry fort he Environment’s CDM/JI Initiative promotes German participation in CDM and JI projects worldwide. An essential part of the initiative is the support for German companies in building relevant networks in the focus countries Brazil, China, India and in the MENA region. Networking support is given through establishment of local contact points and supply with information, workshops and issue-focused discussion groups.
