Abstract
The Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) established the Activities Implemented Jointly (AIJ) pilot phase during the First Conference to the Parties in 1995 as a learning exercise to gain practical experience in such project-based mechanisms. The World Bank, in collaboration with the Government of Norway, has been participating in the AIJ pilot phase and earlier demonstration joint implementation projects since 1993. The chapter provides an analysis of these projects both on a quantitative and qualitative level emphasizing the unique characteristics of the individual projects and the resulting lessons learned. The overall message of this analysis is the significant contribution of the AIJ pilot phase to the practical understanding of how such mechanisms can function. The pilot phase contributes knowledge to the ongoing negotiations related to the operationalization of the Kyoto Mechanisms, namely joint implementation (JI) and the CDM.
