Making joint implementation work

The report analyzes the institutional infrastructure required for countries to host climate-friendly development projects under the Kyoto Protocol's JI and CDM mechanisms. Based on experiences in Central and Eastern Europe, it identifies three critical requirements for viable programs: accurate baselines for credit transfer, alignment with national development plans, and the reduction of high transaction costs.

• To create viable programs and facilitate investment in JI or CDM, countries must address three core issues: establishing accurate and accessible baselines to ensure correct credit transfers, ensuring projects are consistent with national development objectives, and lowering project transaction costs.
• The authors argue that failing to address baseline accuracy, national objective alignment, and transaction costs will make it difficult for governments to implement effective CDM or JI programs.
