Emissions reduction units(ERUs) are units of Greenhouse Gas reductions(or, portion of a country's Assigned Amount) that have been generated via Joint Implementation under Artivle 6 of the Kyoto Protocol-as opposed to Certified Emission Reduction units(CERs)-which have been generated and certified under the provisions of Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol, the Clean Development Mechanism. 4, record 1, English, - emission%20reduction%20unit

The Climate Registry is a collaboration between states, provinces and tribes aimed at developing and managing a common greenhouse gas emissions reporting system with high integrity that is capable of supporting various greenhouse gas emission reporting and reduction policies for its member states and tribes and reporting entities. It will provide an accurate, complete, consistent, transparent and verified set of greenhouse gas emission data from reporting entities, supported by a robust accounting and verification infrastructure. 1, record 4, English, - Climate%20Registry

Carbon neutral conference : Carbon neutral conferencing is based on the Kyoto Protocol principles of emissions trading, and allows for the greenhouse gas emissions associated with conference activities(i. e. long distance and local travel and accommodations) to be offset through the purchase of emission reduction credits. Carbon neutral conferencing is not a substitute for emissions reduction activities, but it does allow conference organizers to offset those emissions that cannot be reduced through other means. 1, record 5, English, - carbon%20neutral%20conference

Conférence neutre en carbone : Les conférences neutres en carbone sont fondées sur les principes d'échanges d'émissions du Protocole de Kyoto et permettent de compenser les émissions de gaz à effet de serre associées aux activités d'une conférence (p. ex. longs voyages, déplacements locaux et hébergement) par l'achat de crédits de carbone. Les conférences neutres en carbone ne remplacent pas les mesures de réduction d'émissions, bien qu'elles permettent aux organisateurs de compenser pour les émissions qui ne peuvent pas être réduites autrement. 2, record 5, French, - conf%C3%A9rence%20neutre%20en%20carbone

The Berlin Mandate provided, inter alia, for binding commitments to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions within specified time-frames(such as 2005, 2015 and 2020). The Mandate specified that these so-called QELROs(Quantified Emission Limitation or Reduction Objectives) would apply only to developed countries and that the Mandate offered no ground for imposing additional obligations on developing country Parties. 2, record 6, English, - Berlin%20Mandate

Le Mandat spécifiait que ces "QELROS» (Quantified Emission Limitation or Reduction Objectives - Objectifs quantitatifs de limitation et de réduction) s'appliqueraient uniquement aux pays développés et que le Mandat ne pouvait constituer un fondement juridique pour imposer des engagements complémentaires aux pays en développement. 2, record 6, French, - Mandat%20de%20Berlin
