February 2011

In response to the growing number of CDM projects in Central America, in early 2011 CDM Watch (formally know as) organised a Workshop in Mexico City and a second two-day regional workshop in Santa Cruz Michapa, Cuscatlán, El Salvador. The events brought together more than 100 participants from all seven Mesoamerican countries: Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and El Salvador. Representatives of environmental NGOs, social and gender movements, activists, leaders of peasant and indigenous communities, representatives of international networks, journalists and citizens came together to exchange experiences with the CDM.
