Kyoto Protocol
WHAT IS A PROTOCOL?
It is an agreement between two or more
states that can modify letters or treaties.
WHAT IS THE KYOTO PROTOCOL?
It is an international treaty that sets obligations on
developed countries to reduce emissions of greenhouse
gases.
BACKGROUND OF THE KYOTO
PROTOCOL
1972 The United Nations Environment Programme is founded.
1992 The UN Conference on the Environment and Development is held
in Rio de Janeiro.
1995 Parties meet in Berlin to outline specific targets on emissions.
1997 In December the parties conclude the Kyoto Protocol.
2005 The Kyoto Protocol enters into force.
WHAT IS THE MAIN GOAL OF THE
KYOTO PROTOCOL?
Its main goal is to reduce,
between 2008 and 2012 in a 5.2%
(from the levels of 1990), the
emission to the atmosphere of
the six most important gases that
provoke the greenhouse effect.
SOCIO-POLITICAL CONTEXT
In total 125 countries have signed and ratified the Kyoto
Protocol.
400 non governamental organizations like Greenpeace
participated.
17,000 people attended this important event.
China, USA and Australia did not sign it.
MEASURES ADOPTED IN SPAIN ABOUT
THE KYOTO PROTOCOL.
Spain can increase its emissions by 15% compared to 1990.
However, as these have increased in recent years by 45%,
our main task will be to reduce them by 30%.
Spain is the EU country furthest from their commitment.
AND WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE?
27 countries agreed to reduce 20% their emissions by 2020
and 80% before 2050. But the EU has not defined how to
do it.
It’s not very likely that developed countries accomplish
the agreement.
