Activities implemented jointly (AIJ) Activities carried out under the Convention to mitigate climate change through partnerships between an investor from a developed country and a counterpart in a host country under a pilot phase that ended in the year 2000. The purpose was to involve private-sector money in the transfer of technology and know-how. See also Joint Implementation

This is a new term that clears up all past language. The language needed a braking point whereby the IPCC could identify the past from the present.

There was a lot going on around the turn of the century. In 2001, the IPCC submitted their third comprehensive report (click here).

There was also a Millenium Ecosystem Assessment implemented in 2000 (click here).

...This report synthesizes the take-home messages of the MA (Millennium Assessment) for the business community throughout the industrial and developing world. It begins by highlighting key MA findings with particular relevance for businesses large and small. The report then provides an interpretation of the significance of these findings for business and industry, including a checklist of questions designed to help tailor the general findings of the MA to a particular business....
The word synthesizes is a very big word in these reports. (click here) The link here is from the Fourth IPCC report. I think the year is 2006. It is anticipated the assessment is completed every five years.

Synthesize, synthesizes or in the acronym SYN is where everything comes together to make it work for the people, the environment, governments and the business community. Up to now, the most powerful entity in all this is the business community. One would think, huh? But, this is a global community of varying degrees of democracy and citizen's rights.

There have been problems with the power of the business community. The business community in 2000 was definitely defined by Wall Street.

It isn't about jobs. Much of the global community works at very low pay rates.

It isn't about property rights or taking away land from business opportunities. Many of the countries don't really have personal property rights. They do have national preserves, but, that serves tourism. Those lands are very important for the people of a country. There are plenty of lands available for development for Wall Street.

The problems revolve around the PRACTICES of international companies and their willingness to take advantage of Third World countries. I think we all know what that is about. It is called corruption and it is global. It definitely effects the resolutions to successfully stem the ever increasing threats of the climate crisis.

But, kindly note, the international community, be it the Millennium Assessment, the IPCC or the United Nations in it's multiple capacities has always and in every possible way included the business communities of any country in the SYN.

There is not a scientist alive today that doesn't value quality of life. It is not unusual for a scientist to have good relationships with towns people and/or native tribes. If one talks to a scientist about the place on Earth they carry out their assessments one would be delighted to hear the details they can provide regarding the community.

One of the most popular scientists that demonstrated their relationships with local people is Dian Fossey (click here). While she fought with tribes hired to poach gorillas, she also had very good relationships with the people working for her in her compound.

Additionally, the poaching is a hindrance to tourism. Frequently, people will love the wild lands in the country because of the income they receive from tourism.

Poaching is by and large the worst forms of corruption, next to industrial pollution. But, corruption goes all the way to the top of most government interior departments, including the USA.
