The Kyoto mechanisms and global climate change: coordination issues and domestic policies.
Author(s) : HAITES E., ASLAM M. A.
Type of monograph: Report
Summary
This report evaluates key issues related to the three Kyoto mechanisms, including implications for domestic policy. It concludes that: the Kyoto mechanisms have the potential to dramatically reduce the costs of meeting the Kyoto commitments; the rules should allow substitution among the different mechanisms; the rules for international emissions trading should allow "legal entities" to participate; lack of harmonization among the three mechanisms may inadvertently restrict their use; significant penalties for non-compliance and effective enforcement of those penalties are crucial to the environmental integrity of emissions trading; the mechanisms are most amenable to use by countries that adopt domestic cap and trade systems. A complete copy of the report is available on Pew Center's Web site.
