Projects receiving funding under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) must be ¡®additional¡¯ to ¡®business as usual¡¯ developments. To be ¡®additional¡¯, a CDM project requires must pass two tests. It must demonstrate:

¡¤ environmental ¡®additionality¡¯ ¨C where greenhouse gas emissions are reduced below the realistic and credible alternative (¡®business as usual¡¯) levels that would have occurred in the absence of the CDM project

¡¤ financial ¡®additionality¡¯ ¨C where investment analysis demonstrates that the project is less financially or economically attractive than the realistic and credible alternatives under ¡®business as usual¡¯ development.

Where financial ¡®additionality¡¯ is not demonstrated, a project may still be validated under the CDM if it can be demonstrated that it faces barriers that would not be faced by the realistic and credible alternatives under ¡®business as usual¡¯ development. Examples of these other barriers include lack of access to credit, or that the project is ¡®first of a kind¡¯ in the host country or region.
