Abstract: This paper contains a synthesis report of four research/policy interface workshops organised by the European Commission. The workshops were designed to provide direct and timely support for the development of the European Commission|s approach to the Kyoto Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in December 1997, and to its follow-up. The workshops addressed in particular: the issues and the options for greenhouse gases abatement, the assessment of policies and measures, criteria and instruments for flexibility and differentiation, and comprehensive approaches and implementation review issues.
Keywords: climate change; Kyoto Protocol; European Commission; policy/research interface; expert workshops.
