In doing so, the authors address a multitude of related issues including the linkages between flexible mechanisms and voluntary agreements; regulation and taxation; the opportunities and barriers of the Kyoto Protocol for industry; and the incentives for firms to undertake climate-related R&D and investments. As well as illustrating the environmental benefits and cost-effectiveness of alternative policy mixes in reducing GHG emissions, the authors also offer sensible policy prescriptions for increasing the numbers of countries that ratify and implement climate agreementsSummary: 1. The compatibility of the Kyoto mechanisms with traditional environmental instruments -- 2. Negotiated agreements and climate change mitigation -- 3. Kyoto flexible mechanisms : opportunities and barriers for industry and financial institutions -- 4. Traditional environmental instruments, Kyoto mechanisms and the role of technical change -- 5. The future evolution of the Kyoto protocol : costs, benefits and incentives to ratification and new international regimesPPN: PPN: 1023437252Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-EWE
