Climate change is currently an issue of great concern because its consequences are threatening the lives and activities of people. There is evidence that human activities are significantly contributing to climate change leading to catastrophic incidences. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change has called for individual obligation but also "Joint Implementation". Many countries, especially developing nations, are unclear as to the implications for their socio-economic development, and concerned that the concept appears to constitute another form of dependence on the North. This workshop therefore took place to exchange information on international concerns and stimulate discussions on the concept in relation to the Tanzanian situation. The report includes recommendations agreed for Tanzania.

A workshop on Competition Policy and Utility Regulation was held in 1997 in Tanzania, under the auspices of the Parastatal Sector Reform Commission, and organised by CEEST. The main objective was to prepare for the divestiture by the Commission of public utility parastals in the sectors of energy, transportation, telecommunications and water. The workshop addressed three main issues: the overall issues and setting them within a competition policy framework; the application of policy to some of the individual sectors which are most important; and the institutional framework most appropriate to take forward the policies in Tanzania.

The Centre for Energy, Environment, Science and Technology in Tanzania carried out this study on behalf of the Department of Environment of the Ministry of Tourism, Natural Resources and Environment. The research was carried out to meet Tanzania's international treaty obligations covering provision of information about human indicated emissions by sources and removal by sinks of green-house gases, and the phasing out of ozone depleting substances. The study was organised on the basis of the sectors of energy and transport, industry, agriculture, forestry and land-use, commerce and household, and solid waste and wastewater management. A caution was added to the main conclusions that there must be a linkage between the objective of poverty alleviation and improvement of the socio-economic situation of Tanzania and other developing countries.
