Following on from Kyoto, the Fourth Conference of the parties took place in Buenos Aires in November 1998, the aim being to clarify key concepts and mechanisms. The most important of these was the clean development mechanism , which aims to channel funds into developing countries for the deployment of clean technologies. The carbon emission trading mechanism was also discussed. Through this, parties to the convention will be able to purchase permits, which on balance should lead to overall reductions in emissions.
