An Educational Exercise
Background Information:
General
Background		 Compliance Mode:
Track I 		Monitoring Mode:
Track II 		Uncertainty Analysis:
Technique 1 		Uncertainty Analysis:
Technique 2
 

This exercise allows a user to get a grip on the uncertainty in the emissions of greenhouse gases and understand its impact at the scale of countries on

  • compliance (Track I: compliance mode)

and

  • the amount of emission permits that can be traded (Track II: monitoring mode)

under the Kyoto Protocol.

The countries and their quantified emission limitation or reduction commitments are those included in Annex B to the Kyoto Protocol. An exception is made for the ‘old’ Member States of the European Union (EU-15). Their targets follow the burden sharing agreement of the EU as of 2002.

Background information on the exercise as well as on Track I and Track II is available through the header.
