Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification Manual for Clean Development Mechanism Projects Asian Development Bank

Asia and the Pacific, which hosts more than half of the world's population, is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. With rapid economic expansion in the recent years, the region has also become a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and therefore must play its part in cutting emissions. This publication assists Clean Development Mechanism project developers in understanding and managing the requirements and process of their projects in a simple step-by-step manner with the help of real examples and practical tips. While this manual has been developed primarily to assist Clean Development Mechanism project developers, it also aspires to be of help for projects participating in other existing and emerging market mechanisms.
