* Course Content *
The ICAP Training Course will provide a curriculum dedicated to emissions trading as a policy instrument for climate policy, and provide illustration by way of case studies.
It will address a range of issues faced in the design of emissions trading systems (ETS), taking into account the specific needs and interests of developing countries. Covered issues include:
• Data collection and inventory generation,
• Allocation methods,
• Offset mechanisms,
• Scope and coverage of a trading scheme,
• Adequate monitoring, reporting and verification, and
• Registry design and implementation.
Additionally, the course will explore important steps in the implementation of an emissions trading system, again with consideration given to specific needs and interests of developing countries. Such issues include:
• Stakeholder engagement,
• Competitiveness concerns,
• Impacts on and responses from covered entities,
• Market analysis and drivers,
• Opportunities offered by creating a global carbon market of linked domestic and regional systems, and
• Evaluating the performance of emissions trading.
Team-building activities are an important component of the ICAP Training Course and will be fostered through break-out sessions and frequent working groups. A detailed program will be made available to those applicants who have been selected for participation.

Launched in October 2007, the International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP) is a partnership of public authorities and governments that have established or are actively pursuing carbon markets through mandatory cap and trade systems with an absolute cap. It provides a forum to share experiences and knowledge. Through this sharing, ICAP aims to enhance the design of other schemes by ensuring that design compatibility issues are recognized at an early stage. As a result, ICAP helps make possible future linking of trading programs. To date, ICAP includes 29 members and 4 observers from Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region.
