Kyoto looks to the future
Article Abstract:
The Kyoto Protocol on climate change, which calls for signatories to make an average 5% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2012, has had polarized opinion since conception. The U.S. and Australia dropped out in 2001 and several signatories like Canada, Japan and EU members are lagging behind in controlling emissions, but despite all the setbacks, this protocol is sure to provide a solid foundation for future agreements on climate.
