Who are they ?
Created in 1990, the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) is an intergovernmental organization of low-lying coastal and small Island countries. The main purpose of the alliance is to consolidate the voices of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to address global warming. AOSIS has been very active from its inception, putting forward the first draft text in the Kyoto Protocol negotiations as early as 1994.
What is their position ?
The AOSIS recognizes the potential of CCS, however it believes that it won’t contribute to global emission reductions. The eligibility of CCS as a CDM activity is conditional upon the resolution of several legal, technical and environmental issues.
