First, this paper analyzes the fundamental problem of Japanese energy/ climate policy formulation system. Second, it discusses the fate of Japan's -6% target for the Kyoto protocol and -25% target for the Copenhagen accord.

This paper is developed in collaboration with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), is aimed at proposing the improvement of clean development mechanism (CDM) in the power generation sector based on the experience through the implementation of capacity building while describing the recent information and identifying issues and challenges in India's power generation sector through IGES CDM

This paper, which was developed in collaboration with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), is aimed at proposing the improvement of clean development mechanism (CDM) in the cement sector based on the experience through the implementation of capacity building while describing the recent information and identifying issues and challenges in India's cement sector through IGES CDM capacity-bui

IGES (Institute for Global Environmental Strategies), in corporation with TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute), started CDM capacity building activities in India in 2003, one of which is conducting consultations with project proponents in the cement sector to assist in their project development.

This paper argues that India’s actions towards climate change mitigation and the domestic monitoring and evaluation mechanisms are fast evolving as key parts of the country’s climate policy in order to address the growing concerns on climate change.

Discussions on a post?2012 future climate regime have been rigourously carried out, not only within the Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol, but also at other principal international forums, including the G8, G20 and the Major Economies Forum (MEF), as well as domestically in each country.

The Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) is monitoring the development of national REDD-plus systems in selected countries.

This working paper is based on research carried out as commission work for the Ministry of Environment, Japan (MOEJ). It presents the analysis of climate benefits through the 3Rs focusing on organic waste management. It shows separate treatment hierarchies for different kinds of organic waste and recommendations for selection of appropriate treatment technologies for these wastes.
