Definition of joint implementation in English English dictionary
the concept that, through the Framework Convention on Climate Change, a developed country is involved in emissions projects projects that result in a real, measurable and long-term reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions in a developing country In its pilot phase, launched at the first COP in 1995, JI is called Activities Implemented Jointly (AIJ) The developed country cannot earn emissions credits during this pilot phase, which ends in 1999
A mechanism provided for in the Kyoto Protocol whereby one party implements a project(s) in another country, with a share of the emission reduction being counted towards the investing country's target and counts towards a share of the emissions reductions
The Kyoto Protocol establishes a mechanism whereby a developed country can receive "emissions reduction units" when it helps to finance projects that reduce net emissions in another developed country (including countries with economies in transition) Some aspects of this approach are being tested as Activities Implemented Jointly (see AIJ)
An emission reduction project in one country that is financially supported by at least one other country Prior to the Kyoto Protocol, joint implementation took the form of the current Clean Development Mechanism Under Kyoto, joint implementation would operate between two or more developed countries

n financial cooperation between donor and recipient countries to counter climate change
Agreements made between two or more nations to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as part of the Framework Convention on Climate Change
Agreements made between two or more nations under the auspices of the Framework Convention on Climate Change to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Agreements made between two or more nations under the auspices of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Refers to a provision of the Framework Convention that would allow countries to pursue climate change mitigation projects outside their borders to achieve their own CO2 emissions reduction commitments JI activities have the potential to dramatically reduce the overall cost of curbing emissions, since countries with limited or expensive mitigation options would be able to pursue more cost-effective opportunities elsewhere See Activities Implemented Jointly
(or activities implemented jointly) is a concept where industrialized countries meet their obligations for reducing their greenhouse gas emissions by receiving credits for investing in emissions reductions in developing countries Proponents of joint implementation argue that such an international trade in emissions credits would achieve greenhouse gas reductions in industrialized countries at much lower costs while providing foreign investment benefits to developing countries
