    Mainstreaming climate change into development in the Pacific

    Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme, 2014
    This paper argues that mainstreaming climate change must mean that climate risks are carefully considered and incorporated into all development planning and practice. It contributes to more sustainable development and more resilient communities; if climate change is not mainstreamed into decision making, there is a real risk that development goals will not be achieved.

It explains that while China and India account for 88 per cent of all CDM credits issued so far, African only has 1 per cent. The main reasons for this disparity are thought to be the high transaction costs and the long and complicated registration, validation, monitoring and verification processes.
