The aim of the Forum was to bring representatives from OECD and non-OECD country governments together with representatives from the research community, to identify and discuss key policy issues relating to GHG emissions trading and other project based mechanisms for GHG emission reduction, such as Joint Implementation and the Clean Development Mechanism. These mechanisms are of significant interest to both Economies in Transition and developing countries. The scope of the Forum also covered experiences with the use of emission trading in other environmental policy applications, such as reducing conventional air pollutants.

Key questions for discussion:
- What are the key issues for policy makers from developed and developing country governments and major lessons in terms of design and implementation of emissions trading schemes, JI and CDM projects?
- Are there common needs across OECD and developing countries? Can countries with similar key issues and challenges be grouped, and common solutions identified?
- What are the key findings from CATEP research with significant implications for policy makers? How can the needs for policy makers feed more effectively into the research community? What are the research priorities for policy makers?
