Abstract
This paper analyses the potential market for project-based international co operation within the framework of the Kyoto Protocol. With the help of exis ting cost data, it is shown that the scope for cost savings by using the pr oject-based flexible instruments of the Protocol is considerable, and that a multibillion dollar carbon credit market can emerge.
