Perspectives of Joint Implementation Projects in Lithuania

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the perspectives of joint implementation (JI) projects in Lithuania. The analysis of flexible mechanisms under the Kyoto protocol including JI benefits is presented in the paper. The main aim of the article is to analyze current macroeconomic environment which has impact on the JI perspectives in Lithuania and based on this analysis to define activities, measures and institutions necessary for the implementation of these projects. A very important issue in this context is the forecast of GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions in Lithuania showing the feasibility of Lithuania to transfer emission reduction units under JI. This feasibility depends upon Lithuanian commitments under the Kyoto protocol and energy generating capacities replacing Ignalina NPP.
