Opportunities, Issues and Barriers to the Practical Application of the Kyoto Mechanisms

(Summary brochure and final report of the IPIECA workshop of the same title, held in Milan in April 2000.)
IPIECA, United Kingdom

In April 2000, IPIECA held a workshop on the ‘Opportunities, Issues and Barriers to the Practical Application of the Kyoto Mechanisms’. The Kyoto Mechanisms could offer significant opportunities to achieve greenhouse gas emissions reductions at lower societal costs than other measures, while providing prospects for significant additional contributions to environmental protection and sustainable development. Businesses have the ability to play an important role in enabling the Mechanisms to function to their maximum potential.

The prospects for realizing these opportunities will depend on decisions concerning the international operation of the Mechanisms, and on the manner of their implementation by national governments. These factors will, in turn, largely determine the role of businesses in the Mechanisms. This document provides a business perspective of the Kyoto Mechanisms, and forms part of an ongoing effort by IPIECA to provide constructive input to the climate change negotiations.

The key messages from the workshop are available in a ‘summary brochure’ (upper left), and a full report of the outcome of the workshop has now also been published (lower left). For further details, and to download the reports in PDF format, select from the following links:

i) Milan Workshop summary brochure (PDF file, 402K);
ii) Final report of the workshop (downloadable files and full contents listing).

Printed copies of both publications are available fom the IPIECA Secretariat: info@ipieca.org.
