Training details (Purpose of training, etc.)
Global warming is a typical global environmental problem whose impact affects not only one country but extends over the whole earth.Therefore utilization of the Kyoto Mechanism including CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) / JI (Joint Implementation), which means greenhouse gases emissions reduction in other countries can be used to fulfill the commitment of its own country, is recognized in the “Third Conference of the Parties (COP3: Kyoto Protocol)” of the “United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)” in 1997 in order to achieve greenhouse gases emission reduction commitment as well as sustainable development assistance in developing countries. The Kyoto Protocol was officially enacted in February, 2005, and the First Commitment Period started this year, 2008. The Japanese government has started credit acquisition using the “Kyoto Mechanism” since 2006 as a practically effective measure. However, the current situation is that the governments of developing countries which can become leading hosts in CDM / JI projects have failed to obtain full information regarding the “Kyoto Mechanism” system, and they have yet to establish the system. In response to the background described above, the purpose of this course is to acquire knowledge of the Kyoto Mechanism system, and to develop the ability of government officials responsible for creating the necessary system in each country.
