This paper explores the possibility of linkages between the PAT scheme and the bilateral carbon offset mechanism proposed by the Government of Japan. It is well established that linking a domestic program with any international

A new report prepared by TERI, and supported by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), highlights key trends in a growing body of research on the links between climate change and development.
