USIJI activities support
the following objectives:
-
To encourage the rapid development
and implementation of cooperative, cost-effective, voluntary projects between
U.S. and foreign partners, especially projects that promote technological
cooperation and sustainable development
-
To promote projects to test and evaluate
methodologies for measuring, tracking, and verifying costs and benefits
-
To contribute to the formulation of
international criteria for JI
-
To foster private sector investment
and innovation in the development and dissemination of technologies for
reducing or sequestering GHG emissions
-
To encourage participating countries
to adopt more complete climate action programs, including national inventories,
baselines, policies and measures, and appropriate specific commitments.
The program provides public recognition
and limited technical assistance to participants in accepted projects.
The emissions reduced or sequestered by each project are tracked and recorded. |
