JIKO Info 05-2006

JIKO Info informs readers about current trends involving the Kyoto Protocol’s CDM and JI mechanisms. 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.

Contents:

• Company-Level Emissions Trading Schemes Boost Demand for CDM/JI
• CDM-Initiative: Great Opportunities for CDM in Arab States
• Impetus for Joint Implementation in Russia
