AbstractIn this modern era of climate protection, the need for climate justice in the distribution of projects
cannot be neglected or postponed. While the pursuit of climate and environmental protection,
sustainable development and green technologies have become increasingly topical, issues
surrounding the sustainability of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) within the context of
climate protection are being unwittingly developed and ignored. Thus, this article offers a critique of
the uneven distribution of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects. While most projects
have gone to the emerging countries of China, India, Brazil and Mexico with opportunities for
investment, unfortunately very little projects were established in the LDCs of Africa and Middle
East. This prompts the question whether the CDM is fulfilling its climate protection goal, or does it
currently deliver its sustainable development claim in the LDCs? Only a relatively few countries that
are attractive destinations for foreign direct investment have benefited immensely from CDM
projects. Consequently, this paper looks into the distribution of CDM project activities among
developing countries, justification for the distribution, and examines what can be done to ensure
equity among developing countries concerning the harnessing of the benefits of the CDM.
