Abstract
From the analysis in Part I it can be concluded that JI describes a strategy through which countries may meet their commitments under the FCCC to reduce GHG emissions by financing emissions-reducing or sink-enhancing projects outside their own borders. The approach seeks to maximize the cost efficiency of emissions reductions on a global basis. Although the notion of JI was introduced during the Convention negotiations and the treaty references the term, details of how the regime will operate have not yet been decided.
