The International ClimateChange Partnership ICCP is an organization of companies and trade associations from around the world working to influence international climatechange legislation. History The association began from mainly former businesses that had participated in the negotiations of the Montreal Protocol . In the mid 1990 s the ICCP was the first major business coalition organization to advocate for market mechanisms as part of what would become the Kyoto Protocol . Although it did not advocate for carbon limits, the ICCP broke from traditional anti regulatory business coalitions as a pro regulatory coalition. This allowed the trade association to outcompete other businesses in promoting the coalition s preferred agenda in climatechange policy formulation in the First Conference of Parties to the UnitedNationsFrameworkConvention on ClimateChange in 1995. The ICCP preferred an emissions trading scheme over a carbon tax . ref Meckling, Jonas. The Globalization of Carbon Trading Transnational Business Coalitions in Climate Politics.
