Meeting title:
Policy Dialogue: International Emissions Trading under the Kyoto Protocol: rules, procedures and
participation of domestic entities.
Issues to be addressed:
This Policy Dialogue will provide a forum to discuss key rules that need to be developed to ensure the
integrity and effectiveness of the international emissions trading system, and their consistency with the
possible participation of private entities in international trading. Specifically, the morning of the
Dialogue will explore the relationship between domestic entities and policies and the intergovernmental
structure of emission trading. The afternoon will discuss specific issues in the intergovernmental rules,
namely liability in the event of non-compliance by any selling Party, interpretations of additionality
(including ?Hot Air?) and supplementarity, and the implications of these for possible future expansion to
include new Parties, taking account of the implications for domestic entities. This Policy Dialogue is a
practical and solution-oriented discussion, targeted at high-level leaders/policy makers.

Meeting title:
Policy Dialogue: Are Joint Implementation and the Clean Development Mechanism opportunities for forest
sustainable development through carbon sequestration projects?
Issues to be addressed:
Most Parties to the UNFCCC have developed action plans and programmes for the sustainable management of
their forests. Opinions diverge on whether programmes focusing on carbon sequestration in forests are an
opportunity for JI or CDM. The IAE and CIFOR (Centre for International Forestry Research, Bangor,
Indonesia) analyse and sythesise
information in order to:
- provide policy-makers with information enabling them to take well-informed decisions;
- identify gaps in knowledge for a better understanding of relevant issues;
- enhance public awareness and facilitate the building of a consensus whether carbon sequestration in
forests is an opportunity for JI or CDM.
This practical and solution-oriented discussion, targeted at high-level leaders/policy makers, aims
at:
- enhancing the understanding of the issues relating to carbon sequestration in forests in relation to JI
and CDM;
- identifying and prioritising gaps in knowledge and researchable issues, permitting a better understanding
of the socio-economic, cultural, political, scientific, technical and environmental implications of carbon
sequestration.
