| dc.description.abstract | There is a danger that the CDM will fail to live up to its goals, namely reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and enhanced sustainable development.
Sustainability labeling is a promising strategy to hedge against such failures. Labels could also serve as a business risk-hedging tool. The existing labels for the CDM are not comprehensive enough, however. A two-tiered stakeholder participatory approach with national flexibility under an international umbrella could be a promising option. Due to the necessary bureaucracy this might not be
feasible. Labels in the spirit of the existing approaches – addressing only restricted
aspects of sustainability or not applicable to all sectors may be a second best option. Other instruments for the further regulation of the CDM, such as a profit tax, should therefore be discussed as well. | swe |
