This paper examines the evidence from existing channelling of development and climate finance via private sector instruments to identify the probable risks and benefits of such approaches. The particular aim of this paper is to stimulate debate within the UK context.

Yet, as traders withdraw from the market, climate negotiators at COP17 have agreed to expand the scope of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and create ‘new market mechanisms’. This article examines the record of the CDM and the Durban decision to keep it alive in the absence of binding emissions reduction targets. It then examines the reasons behind the creation of ‘new market mechanisms’, arguing that these are locked into international negotiations by a mix of interest, ideology and institutional inertia, as well as being consistent with broader attempts to redefine the international climate regime.
