Monitoring Emission Targets
The Kyoto Protocol also set up a strict system to watch, check, and confirm things, along with a system to make sure everything is clear and holds countries responsible. According to the Protocol, countries must keep an eye on their actual pollution levels and keep detailed records of their trades.
Special systems keep track and write down what countries do under the rules. The UN Climate Change Secretariat, in Bonn, Germany, manages a global log to make sure everything follows the Protocol’s rules. Countries report their pollution levels and other details regularly under the Protocol. A system is in place to make sure countries are keeping their promises and helps them if they face problems.
Kyoto Protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is a global agreement with the major aim of reducing the release of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. This treaty specifically addresses six key greenhouse gases which are – carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride.
This treaty is an extension of the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change called the UNFCCC, which is meant to focus on curbing emissions to combat climate change. In this article, we will look into the details of the Kyoto Protocol.
Let’s discuss.
