Venue location
Directions (subway)
The purpose of this workshop was to facilitate the interaction between stakeholders in their specific JI-related roles in time for the start of the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. The concept for the event had been elaborated taking into account the inputs received from designated focal points (DFPs) and applicant and accredited independent entities (IEs), as well as the responses from stakeholders and the public to a call for public input on possible topics related to the work of the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (JISC) (e.g. further elaboration of the guidance on criteria for baseline setting and monitoring) to be included in the discussions.

While the first day of the workshop was dedicated exclusively to interactions between the JISC, DFPs, applicant and accredited IEs and the JI accreditation panel (JI-AP), on the second day further issues of interest with regard to JI were discussed by a broader range of stakeholders.
