This book is about joint implementation. It addresses legal, economic and institutional questions which should be taken into account in setting up joint implementation projects and in developing criteria for joint implementation under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC). First, however, before going into any detail, we shall briefly sketch the background, quoting Daniel Bodansky: 'Each year, mankind injects approximately six billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels, as well as a substantial (although still uncertain) amount from...

In 1989 the Dutch government published a National Environmental Policy Plan (Dutch abbreviation NMP). This NMP is based on the book Concern for Tomorrow. a national environmental survey by RIVM (the National Institute of Public Health and Environmental Protection). A major conclusion of the RIVM study was that emissions of many pollutants had to be cut by 70 - 90 % in order to reach environmental quality goals. The government accepted the RIVM analysis and consequently ClUTent Dutch environmental policy aims at large reduction of pollutants. Another conclusion of the RIVM study was that such...

Curbing the emissions of carbon dioxide has become a major political challenge for the coming decades. The political feasibility of the enterprise is hampered by global disagreement over the preferred level of abatement and its distribution across countries. Because of the close connection between carbon dioxide emissions and fossil fuel use, countries that want to pursue a more restrictive policy worry that their energy-intensive industries will suffer from international competition from industries in countries that follow a laxer policy. Abating countries will see their reduction efforts be...

This volume assesses the options for reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries under the international climate regime in the context of other forest policies. It also examines the incentives flowing from them at the national and sub national level, analysing how these policy levers change human behaviour.
