Transboundary Air Pollution: Climate Change and the Policy of Joint Implementation

Title Transboundary Air Pollution: Climate Change and the Policy of Joint Implementation
Abstract The paper proceeds from the provisions of the Kyoto Protocol and the tasks connected with its implementation. The industrialized countries have undertaken attempts to return their greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2012 and have accepted emission targets for the period 2008-12. For approaching these goals the following aspects should be highlighted: (1) untapped source of climate relevant projects to be implemented as cooperative projects between parties; (2) a combination of an interest to invest in additional climate gas emission reductions with meeting national environmental and developmental objectives; (3) the potential role of climate motivated project cooperation between the parties to the Convention and the Kyoto Protocol in technology cooperation is considered substantial.
