Abstract
Sustainable development of developing countries is one of the key requirements of Clean Development Mechanism designated in the Kyoto Protocol. The methodology for the evaluation of sustainable development of CDM is proposed with the case study of the solid waste management in Beijing, Bangkok and Sao Paulo. Current situation, future plan, regulations and its enforcement in that sector in the city are examined first. Indicators for sustainability are taken up to cover all aspects and categorized into environment, economy, society and culture, and technology. They are also divided into direct and indirect effects and examined its level of importance. Before a project is selected, features of the city and of the alternative technologies are separately considered with sustainability evaluation list. Based on its comparison, more sustainable project can be selected. Method to enhance sustainability in implementation stage are also considered.
