abstract = {In the present study, CDM host countries are classified according to their attractiveness
for CDM non-sink projects. A cluster analysis is conducted based on three different
factors determining host country attractiveness (mitigation potential, institutional CDM
capacity and general investment climate) in order to elaborate a CDM host country
classification. The results suggest that only a small proportion of potential host
countries will attract most of the CDM investment. The CDM (non-sink) stars are
China, India, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, South Africa, Indonesia and Thailand. They
are followed by attractive countries like Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago, Mongolia,
Panama, and Chile. While most of the promising CDM host countries are located in
Latin America and Asia, the general attractiveness of African host countries is relatively
low (with the exception of South Africa). Policy implications of this rather inequitable
geographical distribution of CDM project activities are discussed briefly.},
