Preliminary Assessment of Potential CDM Early Start Projects in Brazil.

DE2001776604

Publication Date	2000
Personal Author	Meyers, S.; Sathaye, J.; Lehman, B.; Schumacher, K.; van Vliet, W.; Moreira, J. R.
Page Count	57
Abstract	The Brazil/U.S. Aspen Global Forum on Climate Change Policies and Programs has facilitated a dialogue between key Brazil and U.S. public and private sector leaders on the subject of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). With support from the U.S. government, a cooperative effort between Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of Sao Paulo conducted an assessment of a number of projects put forth by Brazilian sponsors. An important goal was to assess the potential impact of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) on the financial performance of projects. All of the projects contribute to economic development in Brazil. The forestry projects in particular would create a significant number of rural jobs, and contribute income to rural communities. Some of the carbon sequestration projects would provide environmental benefits with respect to protection of biodiversity and soil.
