Introduction

In November, the Parties to the Climate Change Convention will meet in The Hague 
for further negotiations on the shape of the Kyoto Protocol. Among the most 
important decisions that will be made is that on the rules and structure of the Clean 
Development Mechanism (CDM). The CDM is one of the Kyoto Protocol's so-called 
"flexible mechanisms". It is intended to allow industrialised countries to meet a part 
of their greenhouse gas reduction targets by funding projects in developing countries 
that lead to reduced emissions. It is also meant to assist developing countries in 
achieving sustainable development. One of the most important issues is what 
technologies and practices should be eligible for the CDM, and in particular 
whether nuclear power should be eligible.
