Abstract

In Colombia, the development of new airport projects should involve sustainable financial resources. It allows to create sustainable infrastructure as well as better environmental conditions. Thus, private investors will have new resources available for developing infrastructure projects. Therefore, this paper explores how can the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) be used for encouraging the involvement of new private investors in developing sustainable airports. To address this, this paper examines the role of the CMD in the development of new infrastructure of transportation. As a result, this paper should promote sustainable development including the CMD in the funding process. Additionally, it proposes tax benefits for developing new projects.
