CCAP has been actively involved in the international climate change discussion over the past 15 years, as both an observer and a technical expert to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Our involvement continues today with our participation in various international meetings and workshops. Our key projects and our past accomplishments are listed below.
- Developing Country Analysis Project and Dialogue
Working with in-country teams, CCAP is helping key developing countries to prepare for UNFCCC and Kyoto negotiations. In Phase I, the project examined the costs and implications of policies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Brazil, China, India, and Mexico. In Phase II, the project will evaluate barriers to introducing the most promising policy options identified in the previous analysis and develop politically practical domestic and international approaches that can promote these options.
- Future Actions Dialogue (FAD)
Now in its fourth year, FAD seeks to identify and consider options for future international actions to address climate change. The process brings together senior climate change negotiators from up to 30 developed and developing countries to forge solutions to the climate problem.
- European Dialogue
The Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP) and the Institut du Développement Durable et des Relations Internationales (IDDRI) have launched a European Dialogue on the Energy & Climate Challenge (the European Dialogue) to assist in discussing and developing elements of a coordinated strategy.
- Clean Development Mechanism Dialogue
Prior to the FAD, CCAP started the CDM dialogue to discuss the creation and improvement of the Clean Development Mechanism under the Kyoto Protocol by facilitating several key meetings and workshops.
- EU GHG Emissions Trading
CCAP played a leading role on the international, multi-disciplinary team that designed the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme for the Environment Directorate General of the European Commission.
- Central and Eastern European GHG Reductions
CCAP has been active in Central and Eastern European Climate and Air Quality
Policy since the early 1990s, including brokering a financing deal for a Czech power plant, promoting biomass energy projects throughout the region, and designing a GHG emissions trading system.
- TETRIS Project
Within a project consortium consisting of
major European policy and economic institutions
CCAP analyzed the current status of technology transfer accrued from existing Joint Implementation project activities and the potential for new JI projects in Eastern Europe.
- EU Electricity Sector Indicators
CCAP was a part of a multi-team project to conduct an indicators-based assessment of progress in achieving relevant objectives of the European Union’s various policies in the electricity sector.
- European Air Quality Policy
Hired by the European Commission, CCAP analyzed the effectiveness of air quality management policies and programs in the U.S., Canada, and Japan.
- Brussels Seminars Series
CCAP started a regular series of climate change policy briefings to benefit key European stakeholders.
