To coincide with the one-year anniversary of the Kyoto Protocol, the UNFCCC secretariat is launching two new online tools designed to inform about progress in the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol. Together, they provide a comprehensive overview of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects and their projected climate change reductions. A new CDM project map shows the location of CDM activities worldwide. Visitors can travel around the globe and learn about the location and many details of each project. In addition to this, a series of new graphs provide detailed breakdowns about the range, distribution of such projects that highlight national participation, project impacts and the status of project registration.
For more information, visit the CDM project map or reports.

The United Nations Climate Change Conference closed with the adoption of more than forty decisions that will strengthen global efforts to fight climate change. Reflecting on the success of Montreal 2005, the Conference President, Canadian Environment Minister Stéphane Dion said: “Key decisions have been made in several areas. The Kyoto Protocol has been switched on, a dialogue about the future action has begun, parties have moved forward work on adaptation and advanced the implementation of the regular work programme of the Convention and of the Protocol.”
