The Impact of the Clean Development Mechanism on Firms: Evidence from India ,Policy Brief no. 103-17

(CDM) has the potential to drive the growth of clean and
sustainable technology in developing countries such as
India. However, it is not particularly effective in its current

a valuable instrument to promote the diffusion of such
technology in developing countries.
