Abstract

Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is one of the three flexible mechanisms under the framework of "Kyoto Protocol". In the CDM, the developed countries cooperate in project-level with developing countries by providing finance and technology. However, one challenge facing CDM projects today is developing countries\´ (such as China) lack of knowledge in the financing risks. This paper focus on the important finance factors in three phrases of the CDM hydro projects in Yunnan, China, and a case study conducted in the Maguan Daliangzi CDM hydro projects is presented. Then we discuss the risk assessment of CDM-specific finance in this project, Furthermore try to give suggestions and recommendations on the following CDM small hydro projects.
