The clean development mechanism : a comparison between South Africa and China.

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is the only mechanism available for use by
developing nations. It is there for highly important for the inclusion of these developing
nations in the climate change regime. A consideration on the early implementation of
the CDM in South Africa and China, being two countries with many similarities and
differences and vastly different successes, provides important lessons on how to
approach the climate change regime. Certain barriers exist purely due to the nature of
countries in which the CDM applies as well as other barriers found within the CDM
project life cycle and development. Through the comparison these barriers are explored
and areas for development within South Africa are noted as well as weakness with the
current climate change regime particularly the Kyoto Protocol. / Thesis (LL.M.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2012.
