They argue that there should not be a limit to the CDM projects as a means to achieve emission requirements. In contrast, the EU is less supportive by the CDM and would like to limit its use especially with regard to land use measures. Specifically, that the CDM will be used to avoid domestic emission reductions. Nevertheless, most developing countries recognize that the CDM could create a tremendous flow of capital to their countries. Article 6 contains a provision to include projects that enhance carbon sinks.
Sinks are natural ecosystems such as forests that sequester carbon.
Article 6 also opens the way for industry and businesses to move into JI by granting Parties the right to authorize participation of legal entities. Like most of the flexibility mechanisms there are more unresolved than resolved issues. This test will probably be combined with a scientific test to quantify the additional reductions in GHG emissions from the project. A baseline on emissions must be established in order to measure net reductions in GHG emissions. Therefore, a top-down approach to baseline setting may be the most efficient.
