by Robert K. Dixon (Editor)

Overview

This book is the first comprehensive, in-depth review and summary of t he U.N. FCCC AIJ pilot. Over 30 prominent players in the U.N. FCCC AIJ pilot, drawn from 12 countries, prepared the 16 peer-reviewed chapter s in this book. Most chapters are extensively illustrated and the book contains a glossary of acronyms and a list of points of contact in th e U.N. FCCC AIJ pilot. To help meet the technical and policy needs ass ociated with the U.N. FCCC and complementary treaty negotiations, this book has three broad objectives: review, interpret and compile experi ences of AIJ pilot participants and observers; based on empirical data and skilled observations, identify and document lessons learned from the AIJ pilot; and, interpret, summarize and translate lessons learned for future consideration by FCCC parties.
