Getting on Track: Finding a Path for Transportation in the CDM
This report summarizes the findings of a three year project undertaken by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP) and Cambio Climatico y Desarollo (CC&D) examining GHG emissions from the transportation sector in Santiago, Chile, and the potential contribution of the CDM to reducing this growing concern.

As a leading source of greenhouse gas emissions, the transportation sector could play a central role in the CDM and in addressing climate
change. By delving into the key questions of the CDM within the context of the transportation sector of Chile, including project
baseline, additionality, methodology, monitoring and leakage, the case studies presented in this report shed light on how a range of
transportation projects fit within the current CDM. The report also examines how such projects could be better facilitated in the future,
and where other policy approaches may be appropriate. Taking the lessons learned from these case studies and outcomes of an
international workshop held in Chile, the report presents conclusions regarding how transportation projects currently fit into the CDM
framework and potential changes for post 2012.

The full report, "Getting on Track: Finding a Path for Transportation in the CDM", as well as the Executive Summary, can be downloaded in
