The Influence Of Business And Industry Ngos In The Negotiation Of The Kyoto Mechanisms: The Case Of Carbon Capture And Storage In The Cdm

摘要

This article has assessed the nature, scope and effect of the activities and strategies of Business and Industry NGOs (BINGOs) within the international negotiations of the Kyoto Mechanisms under the UNFCCC. The BINGO constituency constitutes an increasingly diverse group of organizations with differing views on climate change mitigation and GHG regulation. Placing BINGOs that are active in the regime along a continuum from "gray" to "green," it is evident that business activities and mandates have moved towards the green(er) end of the spectrum, reflecting a more general shift in corporate strategies from opposition towards more accommodative and constructive approaches to climate change mitigation.
