Linking CDM & JI with EU Emission Allowance Trading

a Policy Brief for the European Parliament Environment Committee. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI) are two of the so-called flexible mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol designed to allow its parties flexibility in achieving their quantified emission limitation and reduction commitments. Under these mechanisms projects that reduce emissions or remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere generate emission certificates: Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) in the case of the CDM, Emission Reduction Units (ERUs) in the case of JI.
