Content:
This course aims at stimulating and realizing the potentials of the students for future international communications, using the real negotiation which the lecturer participated.

In order to achieve this goal, we will follow the negotiation process of the Framework Convention on Climate Change after COP3, when the Kyoto Protocol was agreed, till COP7, when the agreements about the details of the Kyoto Protocol were reached. The text of the Kyoto Protocol left a number of issues to be discussed later, and intensive negotiations were necessary during this period to have the Protocol ratified.

After some introductory lectures on the global warming and the Framework Convention on Climate Change as a background, we will read and discuss the text of the Kyoto Protocol, Article by Article, with special emphasis on Joint Implementation, Clean Development Mechanism, Emissions Trading and Compliance. We will first look for issues which need clarification in the text of the Protocol, and then look into the Marrakesh Accords which were reached at COP7. After lectures on related issues in environmental policies and energy policies, each student will make a speech as a Minister or a negotiator at COP6.

The Kyoto Protocol、United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change、The Marrakesh Accords、Annual Report on the Environment、Annual Energy Report、Japan’s Environmental Policy(a paper by the lecturer)、Publications by the International Energy Agency
