Foundation JIN and the Joint Implementation Quarterly (JIQ)
Foundation Joint Implementation Network (JIN) was established in 1994 with the aim to create an international network for research activities and information exchange about climate change policy issues, in particular project-based emissions trading. Over the years JIN has broadened its field of expertise to other issues such as climate change policy, development aid, technology transfer and energy market liberalisation. Overall the Foundation JIN mission is to carry out international economic research in a broad sense, both for the public and the private sector. Keywords to characterise JIN's research activities are: scientific, independent, and small-scale/high-level.
Foundation JIN has developed a long history of expertise:
JIN publishes the Joint Implementation Quarterly (JIQ) with subscribers in the fields of policy makers, science, non-governmental organisations and business in 138 countries. JIN is an officially accredited international non-governmental organisation with the UN FCCC.
JIN has contributed to developing the design of the Dutch ERUPT programme for JI tenders. Prof. Jepma, was convening lead author in a chapter writing team of IPCC's Working Group III Second Assessment Report (IPCC WG-III SAR), and as coordinating lead author of chapter 6 (policies and measures) of IPCC's WG-III TAR.
JIN has carried out various studies for Gasunie (the Dutch Gas Union) on issues such as 'security of supply', scenario-analyses (International Gas Union) and gas market liberalisation.
JIN co-ordinated the EU research project PROBASE on baselines for JI and CDM projects under the Kyoto Protocol (Fifth Framework Programme; completed December 2002). JIN produced a substantial number of studies on climate policy.
Organisation of various workshops both nationally (Standardisation of Baselines for JI/CDM project, 6&7 November 2003, Groningen) and internationally (Developing Synergies between Sustainable Forest Management and Carbon Sequestration, 5&6 May 2001, Brussels, Belgium).
Evaluation of JI project Guidelines for Netherlands' ERUPT programme and revising guidelines for second ERUPT tender; project for the Netherlands' government.
