23 July 2009: The UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) presented a revised and expanded version of the Guide to the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in Brazil, a guide commissioned by Brazil’s Ministry of Science and Technology and drawn up under the sponsorship of the UN Development Programme (UNDP).

The Guide has three main objectives: provide information to all those interested in CDM project activities; detail the specific regulations governing the submission of CDM project activities in Brazil; and facilitate an understanding of the process and, consequently, promote the development of CDM projects in the country. In addition to English, the Guide is also available in Spanish and Portuguese. [The Guide]
