Implementing the Kyoto protocol. (Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change)

From: Issues in Science and Technology | Date: March 22, 1998 | Copyright information

A long-term strategy in its implementation is imperative if the Kyoto Protocol to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is to succeed in reducing the threat of global warming. The Kyoto protocol aims to involve nations and industries in slowing global warming by reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 2010. However, its short-term platform, which lacks participation by developing countries, is predicted to increase short-term costs to meet the deadline. R&D efforts should focus on a more...
