Zusatztext

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Politics - Topic: History of Inernational Relations, grade: 1,3, University of Potsdam (Institut für Sozialwissenschaften), course: Climate Change and Development, language: English, abstract: The main goal of this essay is to take a quick look at the nature of the CDM in Pakistan, analyse its impact on the country and finally assess what the outcome looks like. What is the CDM doing with Pakistan? How and where has it worked? Has it spurred any local effects? To this end I will start out by giving an overview of Pakistans current emissions and possible CDM approaches and then take a close look at all 29 registered CDM projects. I will also assess whether these projects have had an impact on Pakistans overall emission pattern and whether some form of technology transfer has taken place. In a second major part of this essay I shall try to identify the effects that the CDM has had and if it has been able to spur local development within the government, the economy or academia and civil society.
