| Inventory training For economies in transition, the biggest challenge in implementing the Kyoto Protocol is to meet eligibility requirements to participate in flexible mechanisms. Capacity exists but is far from sufficient, according to views shared at a workshop held October 26-27 in Budapest. The event focused on capacity building on the implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol in the economies in transition and Turkey. Among the most difficult tasks is the establishment of reliable and sustainable national greenhouse gas emission inventory systems. For new EU member states and accession countries, meeting the requirements of both the EU (i.e. the EU Emission Trading System) and UNFCCC/Kyoto Protocol pose additional challenges. The workshop was funded by the Government of the Netherlands and organised by the Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe (REC). The need for this type of event was highlighted during
the UNFCCC conference of parties in Buenos Aires in December 2004. The
countries in transition, having similar historical, social and economical
backgrounds, wanted to share experiences - both good and bad - in their
efforts to implement the agreements. |
