To date, Southern Mediterranean countries have hosted a limited number of projects under the Clean Development Mechanism. This study examines existing and emerging activities in Southern Mediterranean countries that could fit into new market-based mechanisms.

The authors find that there are three challenges facing middle-income countries – not specific to Southern Mediterranean countries – in relation to capturing the carbon market opportunities created by the European Union (EU) on the horizon: the limited size of future demand for carbon offsets or credits, quantitative and qualitative restrictions on the use of certified emission reductions (CERs) in the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) Phase I.
