To improve the quality of environment in the State adoption of clean, climate and health friendly technologies in every sphere of activity is of paramount importance. Govt. of Gujarat has taken up a broad spectrum of initiatives for all the State Government Departments to address CDM-Clean Development Mechanism pertaining to sustainable development. Govt. of Gujarat has authorized Gujarat Urban Development Company, a wholly owned company of the Government, to act as a nodal agency and bundling agent for availing carbon credit from projects under all GOG Departments.
GUDC’s environmental experts and corporate decision makers provide a strong platform for interaction and intermediation on CDM benefits for the Public Sector projects. The CDM Cell with various expertise acts as a CDM Intermediary with environmental concerns for conduction all CDM activities. It also seeks to promote domestic as well as global expansion of the Gujarat/Indian environment business.
Meanwhile, as per the decision of the Govt. of Gujarat, all the CDM related activities would be transferred to the newly formed Climate Change Department of the Government of Gujarat. The CDM cell of GUDC is also active in creating awareness on climate change and CDM, the core challenges confronting various CDM opportunities and project cycle.
