2. The Kyoto Protocol 36 Developed Countries and Economies in Transition (namely Canada, Japan, EU15 and economies in transition) agreed in 1997 to: reduce GHG emissions by 5.2 % below 1990 levels in the commitment period 2008-2012 reduce GHG emissions by 5.2 % below 1990 levels in the commitment period 2008-2012 Total demand created for GHG Reductions: ~5 to 5.5 billion Total demand created for GHG Reductions: ~5 to 5.5 billion Marrakech Accord: agreed in Nov 2001 sets rules of implementation Marrakech Accord: agreed in Nov 2001 sets rules of implementation Status: came into force in February 2005 Coming into force: requires ratification of 55 Parties to UNFCCC representing 55 % of CO2 emissions (US constitutes 36 %; Russia 17% ) Coming into force: requires ratification of 55 Parties to UNFCCC representing 55 % of CO2 emissions (US constitutes 36 %; Russia 17% ) As of November 2005, 157 states ratified representing 66.1% of developed countries As of November 2005, 157 states ratified representing 66.1% of developed countries US / Australia will not ratify, but Australia will meet targets US / Australia will not ratify, but Australia will meet targets

3. How can Developed Countries/EITs meet their obligations under Kyoto? Domestic Reductions Domestic Reductions Carbon Sinks: direct human-induced land use change and forestry activities (limited to ~330 Mt/C02e) Carbon Sinks: direct human-induced land use change and forestry activities (limited to ~330 Mt/C02e) International Credits (Kyoto Mechanisms): International Credits (Kyoto Mechanisms): International Emissions TradingInternational Emissions Trading Project –Based: Joint ImplementationProject –Based: Joint Implementation Project – Based: Clean Development MechanismProject – Based: Clean Development Mechanism “..domestic action shall constitute a significant element of the effort by each Party..”

7. Supply Concentrated in Middle-Income Countries In percent of volume sold from January 2004 to April 2005 Top three countries (India, Brazil and Chile) account for 58% of volume; Top five (which also includes Bulgaria and Romania) account for 70%

8. Non-CO 2 Gases Dominate In percent of volume purchased from Jan.04 to Apr.05

9. Prices Depend on Risks (weighted average prices from Jan. 2004 to April 2005 in U.S.$ per metric tonne of CO 2 e)
