Pakistan yet to benefit from CDM opportunities


| Sourced From |

LAHORE: Pakistan has a good potential to develop projects based on Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) through reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, however despite huge monetary benefits this potential has not yet been fully exploited.

Federal Secretary Environment Kamran Lashari stated this at a workshop on Carbon credit opportunities in power sector of Pakistan, jointly organised by the Ministry of Environment, the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) and the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry here on Saturday.

The secretary said other developing countries such as India and Brazil had taken a major advantage of the CDM and the window of opportunity was being curtailed because the first commitment period under which CDM benefits could be achieved would end in 2012.
