This course will follow the process of international negotiation 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, 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 class will be in English and active participation in the discussion will be encouraged, but fluency in English is not required.
The course aims at stimulating and realizing the potentials of the students for future international communications.
