About the Joint Implementation Action Group (JIAG)
The Joint Implementation Action Group (JIAG) is a consortium of JI practitioners developing projects expected to generate more than 100 millions of tons of greenhouse gas emission reductions. Current JIAG members are Global Carbon, Core Carbon Group, Climate Focus, Vertis, Camco International, Carbon Trade and Finance and Ecosecurities. These companies are key buyers and project developers on the JI market. Most of them are active beyond JI and participate in GHG emission reductions projects around the world.
The JIAG is a forum of like-minded companies that have agreed to join forces. The JIAG received wide positive feedback from Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (JISC) members, JI project developers, carbon investors and traders, policy-makers, experts, and other JI supporters. This shows that support for the JIAG stretches well beyond its members.
The group provides a voice for the interests of JI within and outside of the UNFCCC context. It promotes JI in its current form giving feedback to the JISC or the Conference of Parties/Meeting of the Parties (COP/MOP) on functioning of JI. It also contributes to the future of the mechanism by actively participating in the discussion of the role of JI in a post-2012 regime. Its activities include organizing side events at Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) and COP/MOP meetings as well as publishing articles and position papers.
