Abstract

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is the Kyoto Protocol mechanism. The
Mechanism has two main objectives; to assist Annex I Parties to cost-effectively fulfil part of
their emission reduction targets under the Kyoto Protocol, and to help non-Annex I Parties in
achieving sustainable development. When the CDM entered into force on 16 February 2005, its
implemented projects, in non-Annex 1 developing countries, created certified emission
reductions (CERs). So the project participants can sell to Annex I Parties to help them meet
their Kyoto Protocol targets, they can also provide complementary benefits to non-Annex I
Parties such as new investment, climate friendly technology transfer and know-how, skills
development, employment..etc
Based on the literature review, none of the studies assessed the clean development
mechanism from the point of comparative benchmarking anaylsis between several countries.
Most of the studies focused solely on the carbon climate and its economics away from the
overall country business climate, competition and investment policies. Attrating foreign direct
investments , even for environmental purposes , is an economic activity and there is a need to
assess and test how to integrate the promotional activities for environmental projects into the
country investment promotion strategy.
This research benchmarked Egypt’s position and ranking on economic and
environmental indexes with China, India, Brazil, and South Africa ones. Those selected four
developing countries forms more than 80% of the CDM market (CDM fact sheet, UNFCCC),
and prominent emerging economies. In order to propose statistical model, the research assessed
these five countries positions on the following 6 major indexes for the period of 10 years from
2006 till 2015. The indexes are as follows:
 The Environmental Performance Index;
 Energy Sustainability Index;
 Foreign Direct Investment Confidence Index;
 The Global Opportunity Index;
 The Doing Business report;
 The Global Competitiveness report.
The researcher also surveyed both governmental sectors responsible for investment promotion
in general and clean development mechanism (by interviewing their representatives) in order
to examine the level of coordination in the area of using CDM to attract FDI and to develop.
