✦ Synopsis

Joint implementation is a hotly debated issue in the context of the Framework Convention on Climate Change. The main argument for joint implementation is that, since it does not matter where greenhouse gas emissions are reduced (as these gases mix uniformly in the atmosphere), it is beter to do it where abatement is cheapest. Man tion exist. In this paper the authors al objections to joint implementaded one that argues against the uniform mixing property. Although in the long run the global climate is insensitive to the place where abatement is undertaken, in the short run the reaional climate channes with the induced channes in the albedo. Indeed. re&ction of the ahn&pheric load of sulphate ae&soB and albedo changes associated with land cover change may well lead to accelerated warming in the region of abatement. 96lO2104
