Current deficiencies of CDM and recommendations for making CDM accessible for pro-poor sustainable development and climate mitigation: Poor communities in developing and emerging countries suffer from limited access to clean energy, which heavily restricts their opportunities for economic development and education in a socially and environmentally sound way.

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has not helped these communities to improve energy services, though one of its objectives is to support “sustainable
development,” in addition to reducing green house gases. Energy efficient stoves bear high potential for combining poverty reduction and mitigation of climate change.
