  1. 6 Case Study: The Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change

    The case study in this chapter focuses on the conflict over the Kyoto Protocol and brackets the earlier conflict about the UNFCCC, as well as ongoing discussions about a successor to the Kyoto Protocol.

  2. Kyoto Protocol

    Kyoto Protocol, international treaty, named for the Japanese city in which it was adopted in December 1997, designed to reduce the emission of gases that contribute to global warming. In force since 2005, it was hailed as the most significant environmental treaty ever negotiated, despite the misgivings of some critics.

    The Kyoto Protocol was adopted on December 11, 1997 and it is unique in that it binds 37 developed countries and economies in transition to limit and reduce GHG emissions. The 1997 Kyoto Protocol was negotiated and signed during President Clinton's administration; however, it was never ratified by the United States' Senate.

  5. Kyoto Protocol

    Kyoto International Conference Center. The Kyoto Protocol ( Japanese: 京都議定書, Hepburn: Kyōto Giteisho) was an international treaty which extended the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that commits state parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, based on the scientific consensus that global warming ...

  6. What is the Kyoto Protocol?

    The Kyoto Protocol, like the Convention, is also designed to assist countries in adapting to the adverse effects of climate change. It facilitates the development and deployment of technologies that can help increase resilience to the impacts of climate change. The Adaptation Fund was established to finance adaptation projects and programmes in ...

  7. Environmental and economic effectiveness of the Kyoto Protocol

    This study investigates the environmental and economic impacts of the Kyoto Protocol on Annex I parties through an impact assessment by combining the propensity score matching and the difference-in-difference methods. We establish a country-level panel data set including CO2 emissions, gross domestic product (GDP), and other socioeconomic data for 1997-2008 and 2005-2008. Based on the ...

  8. The Kyoto Protocol: a Review and Perspectives

    This paper provides a critical assessment of the Protocol's potential performance and. discusses amendments to foster its effectiveness and efficiency. It concludes that, even without any effective emission reductions in the initial commitment period, the ratification of Kyoto is important for the further.

  9. The Kyoto Protocol

    The 1997 Kyoto Protocol is a symbolically important expression of concern about climate change. Born out of the negotiations of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, the protocol required industrialized country signatories to demonstrate progress toward a 5-percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over 1990 levels by 2005 and to meet those targets by 2012. It also allows for ...

  10. Text of the Kyoto Protocol

    The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The major feature of the Kyoto Protocol is that it sets binding targets for 37 industrialized countries and the European community for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.These reductions amount to an average of five per cent against 1990 levels over the five-year period ...

  11. Greenhouse gas emissions and the role of the Kyoto Protocol

    The Kyoto Protocol, adopted in 1997, is an international agreement aiming to reduce GHG emissions. Therefore, investigating the effects of the Kyoto Protocol can provide policy implications for global warming issues and contribute to the research studies on sustainable development.

  12. Impacts of the Kyoto Protocol on boreal forest climate change

    • Context The Kyoto Protocol allows the use of domestic forest carbon sequestration to offset emissions to a limited degree, while bioenergy as an unlimited emission reduction option receives substantial financial support in many countries. • Aim The primary objective of this study was to analyze (1) whether these limits on forest carbon sequestration would be binding, thereby leading to ...

  15. The Wrong Solution at the Right Time: The Failure of the Kyoto Protocol

    This article argues that the Kyoto Protocol on climate change is a funda-mentally flawed agreement that set back solutions on climate change by two decades. Using a systematic framework focused on compliance, effi-ciency, and effectiveness, I analyze the Kyoto Protocol and argue it is a clear case of institutional failure, with the design itself bearing substantial blame for this outcome. The ...

  17. Dangerous Climate Impacts and the Kyoto Protocol

    In addition, the links among emissions, greenhouse gas concentrations, climate change, and impacts are uncertain. Furthermore, what might be considered dangerous could change over time. However, both proponents and detractors of the Kyoto Protocol, which was designed as an initial step to implement the Framework Convention, have begun to demand ...

  20. The Kyoto protocol: Empirical evidence of a hidden success

    The Kyoto protocol, one of the most ambitious agreements tackling climate change problems at that time, was no exception to this debate. Its design has been criticized and its effectiveness has been questioned, and empirical evidence surrounding its effectiveness has provided controversial evidence. One of the important characteristics of the.

    • Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) The maximum amount of emissions (measured as the equivalent in carbon dioxide) that a Party may emit over a commitment period in order to comply with its emissions target is known as a Party's assigned amount. The individual targets for Annex I Parties are listed in the Kyoto Protocol's Annex B.
