Green Investment Schemes

Green Investment Schemes (GIS) are a new carbon finance mechanism that complement presently existing ones in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). 

GIS could serve as an alternative mechanism for funding projects and programmes that other international instruments (such as Joint Implementation) have not been able to deliver, and as a testing ground for the development of future flexible mechanisms for mitigating global climate change.

 

Joanneum Research is one of the leading institutions carrying out research on GIS.
