Global Carbon also developed the JI project that issued and transferred the first ever Early Credits from pre-2008 reductions and the first ever Emission Reductions Units (ERUs) issued under supervision of the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (JISC) of the UNFCCC. The creation of these credits as a tradable commodity under the Kyoto Protocol and is another milestone in the establishment of global carbon market facilitating the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
