The Kyoto Protocol
The adoption of the Kyoto Protocol in December 1997 was a major achievement in the endeavour to tackle the problem of global climate change at the dawn of the 21st century. After many years of involvement in the negotiation process, the book's two internationally recognised authors now offer the international community a first hand and inside perspective of the debate on the Kyoto Protocol. The book provides a comprehensive scholarly analysis of the history and content of the Protocol itself as well as of the economic, political and legal implications of its implementation. It also presents a perspective for the further development of the climate regime. These important features make this book an indispensable working tool for policy makers, negotiators, academics and all those actively involved and interested in climate change issues in both the developed and developing world.
Should Development Aid be Used to Finance the Clean Development Mechanism?
This Climate Note explores the question of whether industrialized countries should be allowed to use their development assistance funds(aid) to directly finance the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects. After examining the arguments in favor of and against this idea, the paper recommends that CDM rules should prohibit aid-funded credit-earning projects and leave capital investments in the CDM to the private sector. At the same time, in developing countries that make the CDM a priority, aid could be used for human and institutional capacity development in both the public and private sectors, focused on creating circumstances conductive to attracting CDM projects.

Stumbling Toward Sustainability
In 1992, at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, the nations of the world agreed to implement an ambitious plan for ecologically sustainable human development. This book is a comprehensive review of U.S. efforts to achieve such development since Rio. The U.S. has unquestionably begun to take steps toward sustainable development. Yet the nation is now far from being a sustainable society, and in many respects is farther away than it was in 1992. Nevertheless, legal and policy tools are available to put the U.S. on a direct path to sustainability. This book brings together 42 distinguished experts from a variety of backgrounds and academic disciplines. It is among the most thorough assessments ever conducted of U.S. law and policy concerning the environment.
