Some of these inherent problems with carbon markets include:

• Definitional issues:• Devaluing the Market• Over-burdening Annex I Parties• Leakage• Permanence• Additionality• Institutional and governance issue• Measurement Difficulties• Baseline setting• Infringement on the rights of Indigenous Peoples and

local communities• Loss of sovereign rights

LDC Workshop Bali

Non Market Mechanisms:

• Type 4: Nation-wide non-market measures (using national reference scenarios)

• Type 5: Project based non-market measures (through the establishment of community trust funds)

The greatest disadvantage on non-market approaches is the limit of voluntary funds that may be available to address RED.
