The dissertation explores the role of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), an offset mechanism under the Kyoto Protocol (art. 12) that allows the crediting of emission reductions from Greenhouse Gas (GHG) abatement projects in developing countries, and its contribution to Sustainable Development (SD) in Mexico. One of the growing concerns about the performance of the CDM under current international negotiations for the post Kyoto regime (2012) deals with its weak capacity to deliver on its environmental and SD objectives in countries where it is implemented. Through a sustainability assessment, the thesis analizes if and how CDM projects in Mexico are fulfilling one of the main objectives for which it was created and to what extent during the period 2005-2010.
The main argument of the thesis – besides the criticism about the efficiency and efficacy of the CDM itself- is that considering the extreme flexibility of SD criteria established by the Mexican government through the Designated National Authority (DNA), CDM proejcts have a relative impact on SD in some key dimensions such as environmental, economical, and to a lesser extent, social one. CDM relation with SD and its contribution in Mexico is however a complex topic to understand, partly due to the vague definition of SD adopted at country level and stakeholders positions towards the CDM itself. |

La tesi analizza il ruolo del Meccanismo di Sviluppo Pulito (MSP) - un meccanismo di compensazione previsto nell‘art. 12 del Protocollo di Kyoto che consente l'accredito di buoni di carbonio derivati dalle riduzioni di emissioni di gas a effetto serra (GHG) per mezzo di progetti applicati nei paesi in via di sviluppo - e il suo contributo al miglioramento delle strategie di sviluppo sostenibile (SS) adottate nel caso del Messico. Una delle crescenti preoccupazioni a livello internazionale sulle prestazioni del MSP e per lo stesso futuro del protocollo di Kyoto (pst-2012) é precisamente la sua poca capacità di complementare o raggiungere gli obiettivi ambientali e di SS nei paesi dove viene applicato. Pertanto, attraverso una valutazione della sua sostenibilità, la tesi analizza se e come i progetti del MSP in Messico stanno compiendo con uno degli obiettivi principali per cui è stato creato e in quale misura, nel corso del periodo 2005-2010. L'argomento principale della tesi, al di lá delle considerazioni sull‘efficienza ed efficacia del MSP per se, è che considerando l'estrema flessibilità dei criteri dello sviluppo sostenbile stabiliti dal governo messicano attraverso la National Designated Authority (DNA), i progetti del MSP hanno un impatto relativo in alcune dimensioni chiave come quelle ambientali, economiche e, in misura minore, in quelle sociali. La relazione tra il MSP e il suo contributo allo SS in Messico è comunque un argomento complesso da analizzare, in parte dovuto alla vaga definizione di SS adottata a livello nazionale e le posizioni assunte dai diversi soggetti interessati alla realizzazione dei progetti nel paese. |
