This study assesses existing institutional capacity to integrate economic development and climate change considerations in Latin America and the Caribbean. The study covers a total of twenty countries in the region,1 and is composed of three parts: 1. An assessment of the current institutional provisions for CDM in each of the twenty countries. 2. Select case studies of successful and failed linkages between GHG mitigation and economic development activities. 3. An examination of capacity building efforts to date in the region, and identification of strategic gaps. The study concludes with a view toward a sectoral CDM for the second commitment period, and recommendations on further actions that the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) may want to consider for its own participation in the CDM market.
