Book Description
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 deforestation. Since the advent of the industrial revolution, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide have risen by more than twenty five percent, from 280 to more than 350 parts per million. Scientists estimate that if current patterns of emissions continue unchecked, the increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide, together with parallel increases in other trace gases such as methane and nitrous oxide, will cause an average global warming in the range of 0. 2 to 0. 5 °C per decade, or 2 to 5 oc by the end of the next century. Such a temperature rise, more rapid than at any time in human history, could have severe effects on coastal areas, agriculture, forests 1 and human health. ' In recent years there has been growing awareness of the extent of the damage done to the world's environment through unsustainable patterns of development.

Book Description
What is Joint Implementation (JI)? In the Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) it is described as a mechanism for cooperation between parties to meet the objective of the convention. Important considerations in favor of the introduction of the concept of JI are: (1) JI schemes could stimulate development and technology cooperation through generating (often private company) resources that would otherwise not be mobilized for such purposes, and thus stimulate broader participation in abatement measures. (2) The financial and societal cost for greenhouse gas abatement measures varies strongly among the parties to the FCCC. Given the global nature of the problem, national boundaries should not be barriers for the identification and implementation of cost effective schemes. Important reservations with regard to the introduction of the concept are: (1) The mechanism could be used by the developed countries to buy their way out of their obligation to take the lead in combating climate change. Ironically, JI could have the effect that the poorer countries with relatively low marginal costs for limiting emissions or enhancing sinks would be sponsored to adjust their pattern of development, while emissions in the richer countries would continue to grow. (2) At present, there exists considerable uncertainties with respect to a number of technical matters, such as measuring the net environmental effect of a JI project. However, these technical problems can probably be solved in due course (along with the findings of the IPCC and experiences gained with JI).

Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions Through Joint Implementation of Projects

Book Description
Most proposals for joint implementation of energy projects emphasize installing more technically efficient capital equipment to allow reduced energy use for any given mix of input and output. But increases in energy efficiency are likely to have second-round effects. Reducing energy demand, for example, will reduce the market price of energy and stimulate energy use, partially offsetting the initial reduction in demand. These effects are likely to be substantially larger in the long run, reducing the magnitude of these offsets.
