      abstract = {Although there is continuing progress in the use of ET for  environmental management, there is no clear direction that  one can establish in terms of its future. Directional  change occurs as different models are implemented and  evaluated under changing technological and cultural  circumstances. If the emphasis will be on international  emission trading or CDM, a thorough review of past Joint  Implementation efforts should be undertaken. There is no  doubt that lessons gained can shape up the trading system.  If the focus is to be on domestic trading of selected  emissions, then capacity building and further pilot trading  should be pursued. The promotion of ET for environmental  management is consistent with the broad development  strategies adopted by many developing countries in  protecting the environment. It is important that the  governments provide policy support through studies that  assess experiences in ET and identify the positive and  negative aspects of implementation, and assist in capacity  building in terms of training programs, human resource  development, and institutional strengthening. It is also  important to promote regional cooperation by exploring  potential for CDM and related activities of various  international protocols.},
