The World Resources Institute defines SD-PAM broadly as policies and measures taken by a country in pursuit of its domestic policy objectives (e.g. energy security or provision of electricity), but which are shaped so as to take a lower emissions path to achieving those objectives (World Resources Institute, 2005). Unlike projects of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), developing countries will not need to demonstrate that an SD-PAM was undertaken for climate mitigation objectives. Also, the fact that an SD-PAM is not exclusively an “additional” emission reduction measure opens up a wider range of sources for support. In the energy sector, policies and measures that developing countries are likely to pledge as SD-PAM include those aimed at increasing EE and the use of domestic renewable energy sources.
