This website provides information to forestry and land use audiences, principally in developing countries, who want to find out more about the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and how it affects their activities.

The site functions as an online manual which:

  • takes you step by step through the existing policy and regulatory framework of the CDM
  • offers guidance on the eligibility of different project activities
  • lays out what countries can do to prepare for CDM in the land use sector
  • looks to the future, providing insight into the wider implications and future developments of the CDM

Also available are a number of case studies and a glossary of key terms and principles.
