The role of various nonstate actors in implementing the Kyoto Protocol on an international level is studied. Several economic developments that affected the international negotiation of the Kyoto Protocol are identified including globalization processes, the reduced role of national governments in the globalizing economy, & the reform of the energy production industry. It is contended that the Kyoto Protocol's provisions concerning joint implementation, the clean development mechanism, & the trading of greenhouse-gas emissions have provided nonstate actors with additional opportunities to become involved in implementing the protocol. After explaining how the private sector, nongovernment organizations, intergovernment organizations, & multilateral development banks could be motivated to implement the Kyoto Protocol, examples of private actors participating in joint implementation, emissions trading, & establishing a clean development mechanism are provided.
