pathway.<br />

• For the post-2012 climate regime, use the existing international framework as<br />

a basis, modifying it to build up from local, national, sectoral or regional<br />

programs. Broadening the CDM to sectoral level.<br />

• Building national programs to encourage energy efficiency; broaden the<br />

range of fuels in the transport sector; and awareness and incentives of<br />

consumers toward low-carbon products, services and lifestyles.<br />
