Submission to call for input CMP Joint Implementation projects

The submission argues that current climate pledges are insufficient to limit warming to 2°C and warns that 'hot air' (surplus allowances) could allow developed countries to maintain business-as-usual emissions. It calls for a robust governance structure for Joint Implementation (JI) projects, focusing on transparency, environmental integrity, and the treatment of projects during the gap period.

• Current climate pledges are insufficient to limit global warming to 2°C, and the current emissions trajectory could lead to warming of 4°C or more.
• The existence of surplus allowances (AAUs) from the first Kyoto commitment period, known as 'hot air', may allow developed nations to meet targets without changing their business-as-usual emissions, potentially negating current pledges.
• The submission identifies several critical areas for the revision of Joint Implementation (JI) guidelines, including the need for a robust governance structure, environmental integrity, increased transparency, a review process for accredited independent entities, an appeals procedure, and the determination of the share of proceeds for projects.
