Promoting CDM activities in Asian countries
and
contributing to global efforts to combat
climate change
|
|
|
 As a new, cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the use
of market mechanism is attracting attention. However, there has been little
experience of using market mechanism as a way to tackle climate change
and even though there have been studies on institutional designs at
international and national levels, it cannot be said that much progress has
been made to gain the understanding of businesses which are influenced
the most by the introduction of these systems.
This research will support the effective introduction and implementation of
market mechanism by providing straightforward and useful information to the
business community, and will contribute to practical policy making by
conveying the viewpoint of affected businesses to policy makers.
