It likewise promotes private sector involvement in the development and implementation of market-based solutions and advises both public authorities and private enterprise on the potential benefits of market-based instruments to mitigate climate change. Other project components include the provision of training to prepare government representatives in the partner countries for the climate change negotiations and providing support for regional cooperation in the carbon market.
