Perspectives for the Carbon Markets Post 2012

It is published by the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy on behalf of the German Environment Ministry. In contrast to other newsletters, it focuses on state-run initiatives and projects, and on the institutional infrastructures which allow CDM/JI activities. The JIKO newsletter appears quarterly in German and English.
