message: Lack of special concern for afforestation projects; no references, poor scientific knowledge, poor paragraph structure  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.96.101.38 (talk) 16:31, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: poor science

message: *Include a little about small-scale CDM.
*Include a little about major commercial players/brokers.
*As more projects go through the process and documentation on this becomes available, sketch a clearer profile of credited CDM projects (renewable, N2O, etc.).
*Section on types of eligible projects: not nuclear, status of sinks, and recent discussion of CCS inclusion.
*Define all acronyms (e.g. NGO is undefined on first use)
Good sources not used for the article so far are the UNEP-RISOE homepage http://cdmpipeline.org/ and the World Banks annual Report "State and Trends of the Carbon Markets" -> added that as source 22, refering to the share of renewables on newly registered projects.
Especially translation the UNEP Risoe page into text-information could greatly increase the qualitiy of the artice.

thread_title: To Do

message: I've restored the UNFCCC logo that 59.95.40.23 removed. I consider the CDM as a child of the UNFCCC, or at least closely enough affiliated that adding the logo is appropriate. However, I am open to arguments for its removal. If you have, please post here. Jens Nielsen 20:04, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: UNFCCC logo

message: On another, lesser, topic.  I have deleted the phrase "where costs are generally accepted to be lower than in developed countries."  I did so because the costs aren't just accepted to be lower, they are.  If they weren't, there would be no incentive for Annex 1 countries to participate in the CDM.

replies: text: What may be obvious to you is not obvious to everyone, and because it's a key fact behind the main rationale for CDM (reducing costs) it would do good to state the obvious here. I think it is important to use the phrase "generally lower", as it is by no means clear why costs should always be lower in developing countries. In fact, technology-intesive projects (say, a wind farm) may easily be more expensive in a developing country due to lack of infrastructure and high transport costs. Jens Nielsen 07:16, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fine, we can say "sometimes."  Your copy is wordy and over-emphasizes that there may not be cost savings.  Anyway, I would ask you to find a specific example of use of the CDM that increased the cost of a project.  I'm willing to bet it's extremely rare. Envirocorrector 12:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's in fact a contribution from a third author, and as my example shows it's valid. As for your second challenge, it happens all the time. Getting your project CDM certified costs a small fortune in consultant salaries, and as these costs are being nearly independent on scale of project, projects need to be beyond a certain size to be viable as CDM projects - it is in fact the main reason few small-scale projects have been registered (a well known fact in the field). This has to some extent been ameliorated by the provisions for small-scale CDM projects with simplified methodologies, but it's not enough. Jens Nielsen 08:13, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "costs accepted to be lower" 

message: In the section "The Risk of false credit" Clean_Development_Mechanism#The_risk_of_false_credits, the first paragraph describes a scenario where a project is registered as CDM even though it would have happened anyway. The last sentence here is:
"Such a 'rejection' is termed a "false positive".
Shouldn't this be "Such a inclusion is termed a "false positive"?
If anyone agrees, please change it! Tobi Kellner (talk) 15:34, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  False Positive 

message: The section "CDM projects to date" is not very useful as it is now, since new projects are registered every day. Instead, it would be better to introduce the sources that update this information every month, such as the CDM pipeline published in CD4CDM.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.83.58.220 (talk) 22:14, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestion 

message: The part mentioned above is outdated, as it still talks about "what will be discussed in Copenhagen". I am not an expert in this issue, but it would be nice, if someone who knows about the results of Copenhagen could update this section of the article. QuéSéYo2 (talk) 11:18, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reasons for including avoided deforestation projects in the CDM 

message: I'm associated with the CDM, so I'm not able to edit this page. However, I'd recommend that another editor take a look at the 'Local resistance' section. It uses overly-colloquial language ("Big Development", "North", "South" and so forth). Additionally, it makes assertions that aren't cited. Most notably, this one: "local protests against CDM projects are arising on every continent, the notion that CDM 'brings development to the South' is contested."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbarefoot (talk • contribs) 10:52, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
