The EU-China CDM Facilitation Project aimed to strengthen the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) as a central pillar within China’s path to sustainable development. Through a series of activities including policy research, capacity building and training programmes, high-level policy tours and wider stakeholder communication the project focused on China’s CDM policies and legislations and provided recommendations to policy-makers on how to strengthen and improve the CDM.

The project was funded by the European Union (EuropeAid) and was the largest European-funded project addressing CDM-related activities with the total financial contribution of EUR 2.8 million. The project was supported by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP). The project started in February 2007 and was completed in March 2010, the consortium partners have successfully implemented all project activities. The EU-China CDM Facilitation Project is completed.
