7. CLIMATE CHANGE HAS BECOME
ONE OF THE MAJOR THREATS FOR
THE LIVING BEINGS.

8. POLITICS:
• Refers to a set of activities
associated with the governance
of a country, or an area

apply to members of a group

10. •There are very strong relation
between climate change and
Politics.
•On December 11, 1997, an
agreement named “KYOTO
protocol” was proposed by the
UNFCCC.
•The Kyoto protocol didn’t make a
big dent in global emissions
because the largest emitters [the

12. KYOTO PROTOCOL:
•Was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on
11 December 1997
• Is an international agreement
linked to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate
Change.
•The detailed rules for the
implementation of the Protocol
were adopted at COP 7 in
Marrakesh, Morocco, in 2001.

13. • Commits its Parties by setting
internationally binding emission
reduction targets.
• There are 192 parties to the Kyoto
Protocol .
•This total includes 191 states
(189 United Nations member
states as well as the Cook Islands
and Niue) and one supranational
union (the European Union).

17. MECHANISMS OF KYOTO:

18. GOALS OF KYOTO PROTOCOL:
• The targets for the first
commitment period of the
Kyoto Protocol cover
emissions of the six main
greenhouse gases,
namely:
• Carbon dioxide (CO2);
• Methane (CH4);
• Nitrous oxide (N2O);
• Hydrofluorocarbons
(HFCs);
• Perfluorocarbons (PFCs);

19. AIMS OF KYOTO:

20. SUCCESS OF KYOTO PROTOCOL:
•38 developed countries signed
up
•Final emissions figures became
available at the end of last year
•The 38 countries agreed to
reduce 2.2 GT CO2 per year
•36 apprently became successful

21. 10 countries
achieved their
targets by
buying carbon
credits where
0.3 GT CO2 is
being reduced.

22. •Without Financial crisis 36
countries became successful
•Helped PARIS CLIMATE
AGREEMENT to lay out
•“Carbon Leakage” emissions

25. FAILURE OF KYOTO PROTOCOL:
•Climate Change cannot be
stopped with market
mechanism
•Fossil Fuels are still being
burnt
•World wide traders are not
aware of Carbon Dioxide
emissions

27. •All the
alternatives of
reducing CO2
were blocked
because of
Politics
•Extraction of oil,
gas & coal are
still in
countinous
