| Coordinating Institutions: | Fridtjof Nansen Institute, Norway

| Objective: | The research project aims at assisting policymakers in their negotiation efforts to establish a broader consensus among key actors on what is achievable and how to proceed in the negotiations. |
| Project Description: | This research project goes beyond "issues & options" by
providing concrete policy recommendations on the basis of a discussion
of alternative scenarios for how a
post-Kyoto regime can be developed. Quantitative model studies of the
proposed
scenarios, together with discussions among the authors, will provide
the first indepth
study of the feasibility of policy scenarios for the second commitment
period negotiations.
The project will benefit from intensive and cooperative discussions
among key
researchers from Europe, Japan, China and the USA, as well as input
from a range
of stakeholders from a number of workshops. A number of workshops have been organized during the project. These include workshops in Tokyo and Beijing in 2005. Publications can be found here. |
