Building on their knowledge and expertise,
a team of European and Latin American institutions has agreed to
strengthen regional capabilities for taking advantage of the Clean
Development Mechanism (CDM) to foster sustainable energy projects. This
initiative, called Planning and Strategies for the Implementation of
the CDM - PLANER, was co-sponsored by the European
Commission under the Synergy
Programme.
PLANER established
a better
understanding within selected countries in Latin America of how CDM can be
used to increase the participation of renewable energy technologies in

Institutions participating in the project
included a consortium of European partners (ESCAN,

institutions in the host countries (Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru).
