Making joint implementation work

This report examines the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol's Joint Implementation (JI) and Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) flexibility mechanisms, drawing on the experiences of Central and Eastern European countries, specifically regarding Activities Implemented Jointly (AIJ) launched in 1995.

• To create viable programs and facilitate investment for Joint Implementation (JI) or Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), countries must address three core requirements: establishing accurate and accessible baselines to ensure correct credit transfers, ensuring projects align with national development plans, and reducing high transaction costs associated with investment.
• The authors argue that failure to address the issues of baselines, national objective consistency, and project costs will make it difficult for governments to implement effective CDM or JI programs.
