The document discusses Canada's obligations and challenges in meeting the targets of the Kyoto Protocol. It notes that Canada ratified the protocol in 2002 but has failed to meet its emissions reduction targets. Emissions have risen significantly since 1990 due largely to growth in the oil, gas and mining industries. While some provinces have their own climate policies, Canada's withdrawal from its Kyoto commitments has faced criticism from environmental and political groups.

The Kyoto Protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is a 1997 global agreement that set targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It aimed to reduce emissions in industrialized countries to 5% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012, with varying targets for different countries. While most industrialized countries met their targets, emissions in other high emitters like the US rose. The targets are now seen as too low, and greater reductions are needed to combat climate change. Individual actions and moving to renewable energy can help reduce emissions, but replacing coal with nuclear power will also be necessary to meet future targets.
Kyoto Protocol (application, success, failure)
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which commits state parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Protocol set binding emission reduction targets for 37 industrialized countries and the European community but did not include binding targets for developing countries like China and India. While some parties achieved their targets, overall global emissions continued to rise significantly during the Protocol's first commitment period from 2008-2012. The Protocol has faced criticisms around its flexibility mechanisms, lack of participation from major emitters, and difficulty enforcing compliance. In 2012, an amendment extended the Protocol with a second commitment period through 2020 but with fewer participating parties.
The Kyoto Protocol
- The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change that sets binding targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions for industrialized countries.
- The goal is to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to help prevent dangerous climate change. Countries agreed on average reductions of 5.2% from 1990 levels by 2012.
- The United States signed but later withdrew from the agreement in 2001, citing negative economic impacts. Many other countries have ratified it but it faces challenges in comprehensively addressing long-term climate change.
About the Montreal Protocol
The Montreal Protocol aimed to phase out ozone depleting substances to protect the ozone layer. It was agreed in 1987 and entered into force in 1989. It has undergone several revisions to strengthen commitments. Key ozone depleting substances like CFCs and HCFCs are being phased out according to set timelines. As a result of compliance, the ozone layer is projected to recover by 2050-2070, demonstrating the Protocol's effectiveness through international cooperation.
Montreal protocol
The document outlines the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty to protect the ozone layer by phasing out ozone depleting substances. It discusses the treaty's history and ratification status. It also summarizes the effects of ozone depletion, categories and uses of ozone depleting substances, and the phase-out schedules mandated by the protocol for developed and developing countries. Monitoring efforts are important to prevent illegal trade of these chemicals as countries work to gradually phase them out. The protocol is achieving results, with decreases in ozone depleting substances and early signs of stratospheric ozone recovery.
Montreal_protocol_Report
The document summarizes the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty signed in 1987 to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of numerous substances that are responsible for ozone depletion. Key details include that it has been ratified by 197 countries, requires staged reductions in CFC production and consumption through complete phase-outs by specific years, and has been hailed as one of the most successful international agreements due to evidence that it is repairing the ozone layer and providing significant climate benefits by avoiding greenhouse gas emissions.
Paris agreement
The document discusses India's plans to ratify the Paris Agreement on climate change. It provides background on the Paris Agreement, noting it aims to limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius and was ratified by 61 countries. The summary explains that Prime Minister Modi announced India will ratify the agreement. As part of its commitments under the agreement, India will need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 33-35% by 2030, increase renewable energy production, and expand forest cover. Ratifying the agreement will significantly impact India's energy sector and industry.
Kyoto protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It commits industrialized nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to combat global warming. Key points of the Kyoto Protocol include binding emissions reduction targets for 37 industrialized nations, flexible mechanisms to lower compliance costs, and excluding developing countries from emissions limits. While most industrialized nations support it, the United States has withdrawn support. Malaysia has no emissions targets but supports efforts under the UNFCCC framework.

Ozone Depletion and the Montreal Protocol
The document discusses the Montreal Protocol, an international agreement signed in 1987 to reduce ozone depletion. It outlines that CFCs and other chemicals were destroying the ozone layer, which protects life on Earth from UV radiation. The Protocol set limits on ozone depleting substances and has led to a decrease in their atmospheric levels and early signs of ozone layer recovery, making it one of the most successful international environmental agreements.
INtroduction to IPCC
The document provides an overview of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It describes the IPCC as a United Nations body that assesses the science related to climate change. It produces major assessment reports every 6-7 years on climate change impacts, causes, and future risks as well as special reports on specific topics. The IPCC involves scientists and experts from around the world and aims to provide objective information to inform policymakers. Recent achievements include its assessment reports influencing international agreements like the Paris Agreement. The speaker outlines upcoming special reports and the sixth major assessment report planned for 2020-2022.
IPCC Role and Activities
The document summarizes information about the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It provides details on the IPCC's role in assessing climate change risks and impacts. It outlines the IPCC's history including its establishment in 1988 and releases of assessment reports in 1990, 1995, 2001, 2007, and 2013/2014 that informed international agreements. The document describes the IPCC process involving working groups and authors and reviewers from around the world. It previews upcoming assessment reports and special reports in the sixth assessment cycle through 2022.
Kyoto protocol (Pre/Post)
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the UNFCCC aimed at fighting global warming. It commits industrialized nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The major distinction between the Protocol and the Convention is that the Convention encouraged emissions reductions while the Protocol commits countries to do so. The Protocol was negotiated in 1997 and entered into force in 2005 after Russia ratified it. It sets emissions reduction targets for 37 Annex I countries and allows flexible mechanisms like emissions trading to lower costs of achieving targets.
Climate Change UNFCCC
This document discusses climate change impacts in India and the country's policy responses. It notes increasing surface temperatures and variable regional impacts on rainfall and drought. It outlines India's National Action Plan on Climate Change and its national missions to promote renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable habitats, water management, ecosystem protection, agriculture and strategic climate research. The document discusses how rural livelihoods dependent on natural resources are highly vulnerable to climate impacts. It defines concepts of vulnerability, adaptation and the UNFCCC and its role in coordinating the global response to climate change.
The Kyoto protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is a global agreement that set targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It required industrialized countries to cut emissions by 5% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012, with the European Union cutting by 8% and Japan by 5%. While many countries signed on, some like the US withdrew. The targets have been criticized by scientists as too low. The UK has taken steps to meet its targets like shifting from coal to gas power, increasing renewables, and taxing petrol, but will need more nuclear power to fully transition. Individual actions and new technologies can help reduce carbon footprints, but a major economic shift is needed to transition away from fossil fuels.
UNFCCC
The document discusses the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and whether it has been helpful in mitigating climate change problems. The UNFCCC was adopted in 1992 with the objective of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations to prevent dangerous interference with the climate. However, greenhouse gas levels and global temperatures have continued to rise significantly since then. While the UNFCCC aimed to reduce emissions through frameworks like the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement, annual emissions are now 60% higher than in 1994 and none of the agreements have achieved deep enough cuts to limit global warming. As a result, the continuation of the UNFCCC process is now in question, as it lacks tools to drive necessary global action on climate change. Alternative

The Montreal Protocol is a 1987 agreement to phase out ozone-depleting substances to protect the stratospheric ozone layer and reduce global warming.
Montreal protocol
The Montreal Protocol defines measures to limit production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances. Developed in 1987 under the UN Environment Programme, it came into force in 1989 as the first global agreement to protect the atmosphere. The protocol regulates substances like CFCs and halons that damage the ozone layer based on their ozone depletion potential. Developing countries faced special difficulties in phasing out substances and received financial and technical support, with a 10-year preparation period ending in 1999 before entering the compliance period.
International Environmental Conferences, a short view
The document summarizes several major international environmental conferences:
The 1972 Stockholm Conference was the first major conference on the environment and established the United Nations Environment Programme. The 1992 Rio Conference emphasized sustainable development and resulted in agreements like Agenda 21. The 2002 Johannesburg Conference reaffirmed commitments to sustainable development. Rio+20 in 2012 focused on green economy and institutional frameworks for sustainability. Key principles on environmental protection and sustainable development were adopted at these conferences.
Earth summit
The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, also known as the Rio Summit or Earth Summit, was a major UN conference held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Over 170 countries participated and agreed to several important environmental agreements and declarations including the Rio Declaration, Agenda 21, and conventions on biological diversity, climate change, and desertification. The summit addressed issues like sustainable production/consumption, alternative energy sources, transportation, water scarcity, and more. It helped launch global discussions around these issues and set targets, though further negotiations were still needed to establish legally binding emissions limits.
montreal protocol what was it ?
The document summarizes a seminar report on ozone layer depletion and the Montreal Protocol. It discusses how the ozone layer was discovered and its importance in shielding Earth from UV rays. It then explains how CFCs and other ozone depleting substances released from industrial activities were depleting the ozone layer, leading to the formation of an ozone hole over Antarctica. The Montreal Protocol of 1989 was a major international agreement to phase out the production of CFCs and other ozone depleting substances to allow the ozone layer to recover.
Earth summit - bio pro.
The Earth Summit was a major UN conference held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 to discuss environmental issues and sustainable development. Over 100 world leaders and thousands of representatives from governments and NGOs attended. Key outcomes included the Climate Change Convention which led to the Kyoto Protocol, and agreements to protect indigenous lands and biodiversity. Subsequent UN conferences addressed issues like population growth, social development, and women's rights in relation to achieving global sustainability. However, governments have not fully implemented the plans and agreements from these summits.
India, Cdm And Kyoto Protocol
This document discusses India's involvement with the Kyoto Protocol and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). It explains that the Kyoto Protocol aims to reduce emissions of six greenhouse gases. It divides countries into three categories - Annex I countries have emission reduction commitments, Annex II countries provide financial and technological support, and non-Annex I developing countries have no commitments. The CDM allows projects in developing countries to earn certified emissions reductions credits that can be used by Annex I countries to meet their targets. India has many registered CDM projects and could earn billions of euros from carbon credits. The document concludes that India will be a major player in the CDM market in the near future.
Kyoto Protocol
The presentation summarized the history and key aspects of the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement linked to the UNFCCC aimed at fighting global warming. It discussed how the protocol was adopted in 1997 and entered into force in 2005, committing industrialized countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The presentation outlined the emission reduction targets and trading programs established by the protocol, as well as future meetings planned to regulate violators. It concluded by stating the protocol was an important first step, but further negotiations are needed to deliver stronger emission reductions to address climate change.

The main summits discussed were the 1992 Rio Summit, where agreements were reached on Agenda 21 and the Rio Declaration; the 2002 Earth Summit in Johannesburg; and Rio+20 in 2012. Key outcomes included frameworks and conventions on climate change, biodiversity, desertification, and commitments to achieve Millennium Development Goals.
Kyoto protocol and Copenhagen Summit
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It set targets for industrialized countries to cut emissions by 5% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012. Each country agreed to its own target, such as an 8% cut for EU countries. The protocol went into legal effect in 2005 after Russia ratified it. However, countries are not on track to meet targets and the US withdrawal was a major setback. The Copenhagen Summit in 2009 aimed to forge a new agreement to replace Kyoto but only produced the non-binding Copenhagen Accord, continuing pressure for countries like the US to pass emissions legislation.

The document discusses global warming and the Kyoto Protocol. It provides background on global warming, its causes from greenhouse gas emissions, and its effects. It then summarizes the Kyoto Protocol, which aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions between 2008-2012. The Protocol established legally binding emissions targets for industrialized countries and flexible mechanisms to help countries meet their reduction targets cost-effectively. However, the US withdrew from the agreement and it faced criticism for not including developing countries.
7. Responses To Climate Change
There must be coordinated global, national, and local responses to address climate change. Globally, countries aim to reduce carbon emissions through agreements like the Kyoto Protocol and carbon trading. Nationally, governments implement initiatives to encourage public transport, renewable energy, and energy conservation. Individually, people can conserve energy at home, choose more sustainable transportation, and adopt low-carbon lifestyles.
Road to Rio+20, UN Conference on Sustainable Development 2012
Road to Rio+20 is a summary of preparations for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) called “Rio+20” to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil June 20-22, 2012.
4 responses to climate change
The document outlines responses to climate change from individual to global levels. It discusses lifestyle changes people can make, global meetings like the Kyoto Protocol to establish emissions trading, and national strategies to reduce emissions. The document also notes that some countries are more willing to act on climate change than others. Students are tasked with creating a triangle diagram showing the scale of responses from global governmental organizations and companies down to local councils, schools, and individual people.
Kyoto protocol in romania
The document discusses Romania's participation in the Kyoto Protocol. Romania was the first country from Annex I of the UNFCCC to ratify the Kyoto Protocol in 2001. Romania committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and showed political will to address climate change. Romania's emissions decreased significantly after 1989 due to economic decline during its transition to a market economy. Under the Kyoto Protocol, Romania uses 1989 as its baseline year rather than 1990 to better reflect its economic potential. Romania's emissions remain well below its Kyoto target and it could earn billions from selling excess carbon credits until 2015.
Flexibility Instruments of the Kyoto Protocol
The document summarizes the Kyoto Protocol's flexibility mechanisms, including the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). It outlines emissions targets for countries, describes how the CDM works to generate carbon credits from emissions reduction projects in developing countries, and reviews CDM project statistics. Over 3000 CDM projects have been proposed, with over 2.7 billion credits expected. Registered projects have generated over 188 million credits so far. The CDM aims to lower compliance costs and drive sustainable development, but has also faced criticisms around additionality and effects on national strategies.

WWF: Policy Expectations for COP 19 Warsaw
Oggi possiamo salvare il clima e conquistare un futuro di benessere per noi e i nostri figli. Bruciare i combustibili fossili per procurarsi energia e calore ha portato la concentrazione di CO2 in atmosfera ai livelli di 3 milioni di anni fa. Dobbiamo riconquistare l'energia, puntare sulle fonti rinnovabili e l’efficienza energetica. Occorre investire le risorse pubbliche e private nel nostro futuro. E invece i nostri soldi continuano a finanziare il passato fossile. E' ora di cambiare noi, non il clima." Mariagrazia Midulla, Responsabile Clima ed Energia

Climate Change Part 2 Final.pptx
The document discusses various international climate change initiatives and partnerships, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement, and follow-ups including the Climate Ambition Summit 2020 and COP-26. It outlines India's commitments under these agreements, including pledging to reduce emissions intensity by 33-35% of 2005 levels and reaching 40% non-fossil fuel installed capacity by 2022 under the Paris Agreement. At COP-26, India committed to reaching carbon neutrality by 2070 and cutting projected 2030 emissions by 1 billion tons.
Unfccc and kyoto protocol escario
The UNFCCC is a legally non-binding framework for international cooperation to combat climate change. Its main objective is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. The Kyoto Protocol, adopted under the UNFCCC, set binding emission reduction targets for developed countries during its first commitment period from 2008-2012. Key elements of the Kyoto Protocol include emissions trading, clean development mechanisms, and joint implementation. The Philippines has ratified the UNFCCC and pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 70% by 2030, but its energy sector focused on coal and oil does not fully reflect its climate change commitments and policies.

CDM
The document discusses the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) established under the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol classified countries as Annex I (developed) and non-Annex I (developing) and required Annex I countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 5.2% below 1990 levels between 2008-2012. The CDM allows Annex I countries to invest in emission reduction projects in developing countries in order to earn certified emission reduction credits that can be applied toward meeting their Kyoto targets, while promoting sustainable development in developing countries. Examples of CDM project areas include afforestation, renewable energy, and methane capture from landfills.
Global warming local and global issues
This document discusses global warming and its causes and effects. It begins by explaining the greenhouse effect and key greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. It then discusses how human activities are the main driver of rising global temperatures through increased greenhouse gas emissions from things like fossil fuel combustion. Some effects of global warming mentioned include melting polar ice caps and glaciers, more frequent and intense heat waves and droughts, and impacts on human health. The document also outlines international efforts to reduce emissions through agreements and carbon trading programs. It emphasizes the need for a global response involving actions across industries and sectors to mitigate the threats from climate change.
carbon bank
The document discusses global warming and mechanisms for reducing carbon emissions, including the Kyoto Protocol. It describes Kyoto's emission reduction targets for different countries and introduces mechanisms for carbon trading, including the Clean Development Mechanism, Joint Implementation, and international emissions trading. These allow countries to meet emissions targets by purchasing carbon credits from emissions reduction projects in other countries.
Kyoto Protocol Essay
The document discusses the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement signed in 1997 aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It notes that Quebec and Canada produce large amounts of greenhouse gases and that transportation accounts for 42.5% of emissions in Quebec. The electric vehicle market in Quebec is still small, with only around 2,800 electric vehicles owned in 2014. Demand for electric vehicles is concentrated in areas with more charging stations like Montérégie. The document examines efforts by governments in Quebec and Canada to promote more environmentally friendly initiatives and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
CCXG Forum, September 2021, Federica Fricano
The document summarizes preparations for the Youth4Climate event in Milan from September 28-October 2, 2021 ahead of COP26. Over 8,700 youth ages 15-29 from 186 countries applied and nearly 400 were selected, including 40% from marginalized groups. Participants will discuss climate solutions along themes of sustainable recovery, resilience, participation, and climate change impacts. Selected youth provided input through questionnaires to develop "zero-draft" proposals on topics. The proposals will be discussed and finalized in Milan to ensure youth ownership of the process and outcomes. The event aims to amplify youth voices and drive greater climate ambition and action.
Climate Equity
11 years after the Kyoto Protocol was signed—only
to be consigned to irrelevance over the subsequent decade—nations would negotiate post-2012 action.
The realities of climate change are clearer than ever,
and the cost of action is mounting. Rich countries,
historically responsible for climate change, are
proposing new mechanisms to share the burden.
Leading developing countries such as India and
China need to negotiate hard as well and make
a big push for renewables

Editor's Notes
- Note: Emission limits do not include emissions by international aviation and shipping, but are in addition to the industrial gases, chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, which are dealt with under the 1987 Montreal Protocol
- Example: China, India and other developing countries were not included in any numerical limitation of the Protocol, because they were not main contributors to the GHG in the pre-treaty industrialization period. China has since become the largest GHG emitter;
