    Activities Implemented Jointly (AIJ) is a pilot programme designed to test the concept of Joint Implementation (JI). JI is a process by which the government of one country invests in measures, programmes or projects in another country to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or enhance GHG sinks. In return, the Government of the investing country receives credits for a percentage of emission reductions achieved in the host country. The purpose of this report is to examine the potential of New Zealand using AIJ as an approach to reduce CO₂ emissions. The evaluation of AIJ covers the concerns raised by critics and a comparison with other economic instruments. It is concluded that AIJ potentially offers a precautionary and gradualist approach to introducing more comprehensive policies. This study also highlights a number of issues which need further research if AIJ is to progress further than its initial pilot phase. A research programme to resolve some of the major issues is outlined.... [Show full abstract]
