"Achieving Greenhouse Gas
Emission Reductions in Developing Countries Through Energy Efficient
Lighting Project in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)". This paper addresses the
opportunity to use the financial leverage of the CDM to facilitate
efficient lighting projects in developing countries, noting how
established efficient lighting methodologies and practices can be used
to comply with CDM methodological requirements. The paper shows the
complementarities and synergies between the implementation of energy
efficiency measures and the CDM. The study was prepared for the
Carbon
Finance Unit of the World Bank. November 2006.

“Programmatic CDM Project
Activities: Eligibility, Methodological Requirements and
Implementation”, co-authored with Margaree Consultants and Econergy
International Corporation. The study assesses the eligibility and proposes
the methodological requirements of programmatic CDM by analyzing the
existing regulatory framework of the Kyoto Protocol and the 13 projects in
the UNFCCC project pipeline that have programmatic characteristics. The
study argues
that there are no regulatory impediments to including programmatic project
activities in the CDM during the current commitment period. The study was
prepared for the Carbon Finance Business Unit of the World
Bank. November
2005.
“Evolving
to a Sector-Based Clean Development Mechanism”,
co-authored with Jose Luis Samaniego. The paper proposes broadening the
post 2012 market-based participation of developing countries to include regional,
sectoral, sub-sectoral, or cross-sectoral, which would be the
result of specific sustainable development policies. Chapter
