The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is one of the Kyoto Protocol’s flexibility mechanisms. As a project-based mechanism, it has a dual objective of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, on the one hand, and contributing to the host countries’ sustainable development, on the other. Energy efficiency, especially end-use efficiency projects, create high sustainable development benefits, as they reduce energy poverty.
Furthermore, energy efficiency often generates emission reductions at low costs. Despite these advantages, projects relating to
energy efficiency are particularly under-represented in the portfolio of current or proposed CDM projects. The majority of Certified Emission Reductions (CER) stem from projects that generate high volumes of CERs and yield only few sustainable development benefits, such as emission reductions from landfills.

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
