At present, LAC has 1003 projects in various stages, within the framework of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).3


The countries in the region


with the greatest number of CDM projects are Brazil (with 42% of the total), Mexico (with 20%), Chile (with 8%) and Colombia (with 7%). The largest number of CDM projects (87% of the total) in which the region is involved are in the areas of renewable energies and methane reduction (figure 3.19a-b). This highlights the need to more extensively explore mitigation measures in forestry, transportation, fuel substitution and energy efficiency.

One source of funds for developing countries facing climate change, in addition to funds from CDM projects, are those designated as Official Development Assistance (ODA). Between 2000 and 2007, the LAC region was the recipient of 8.5% of these resources. One category of these resources is directed at providing development assistance that targets the objectives of the three Rio Conventions – the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification – under the rubric of the so-called Rio Markers. Between 2000 and 2007, the region received approximately US$1.4 billion (in current
