Business leaders and experts at a workshop Sunday said incorporation of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) into industry can benefit the country in various ways.

They said the CDM under Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol can cement an environment-friendly sustainable business and also bring forth great opportunities for the entrepreneurs to sell carbon credits in the global market.
"Although the discussion on climate change is very high on the agenda at the policy levels, the businessmen are not aware adequately about its practical impact," they said at the workshop titled "Dialogue on Clean Development Mechanism" held at the Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) in the city.
The Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI), the OXFAM GB Bangladesh and the Campaign for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods (CSRL) jointly organised the workshop with a view to raising awareness among the businessmen about the climate change issues and generating critical knowledge on implementation of the CDM.
For creating a sustainable business foreground, the speakers urged the authorities concerned to implement CDM under the Kyoto Protocol to establish a perfect climate change business strategy.
