The Kyoto Protocol

In this article we will explore the position of the United States in the "Kyoto Protocol" and "Kyoto Protocol". In order to understand the foundation of the Kyoto Protocol, our planet is warming and we must agree that we (citizen) contribute to its global warming. In a general discussion on global warming, at least the following five questions need to be dealt with. Does global warming really occur? If global warming is occurring, humans should be responsible for it. If global warming is occurring, what impact will it have on life on the planet?

"Kyoto Protocol" was adopted in Kyoto on December 11, 1997, and it came into effect on February 16, 2005. Detailed rules on the implementation of the Protocol were adopted at the Seventh Conference of the Parties Conference held in Marrakesh, Morocco in 2001 and are called the "Marrakesh Accord". Its first commitment period began in 2008 and ended in 2012. During the first commitment period, 37 developed countries and the European Community promised to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 5% over 1990 levels. During the second commitment period, we committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 18% from the 1990 level in the 8 years from 2013 to 2020, but the Party of the second commitment period was the first Party . The composition of the commitment period is different

Even after 10 years or more, the effectiveness of the Kyoto Protocol as a global environmental regime to cope with climate change remains questionable. This paper considers that the "Kyoto Protocol" is not enough to solve the problem of global warming. The discussion will be based on examination of the two issues of the Kyoto Protocol. First, I will explain the participation problem, especially the principle of 'common but differentiated responsibilities' (CDR). Second, the participation problem is related to the compliance issue of the Kyoto Protocol. This section explains the effectiveness of the three mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol - emissions trading, clean development mechanism (CDM), and joint implementation (JI).

Respecting the emission targets of the Kyoto Protocol is a great price for Canada. But how much is economic cost? According to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, by 2010, the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol will cost approximately $ 30 billion, equivalent to 5% of Canada's GDP (Montreal Economic Research Institute). The Liberal Party Cabinet estimated in 2002 that unemployment of 200,000 people and a 5% reduction in Canada's GDP are inevitable (Böhringer). By the 2050's, Canada's climate change cost could increase from $ 5 billion a year in 2020 to $ 43 billion a year from $ 21 billion a year (National Environmental and Economic Roundtable). This cost depends on several factors, including global emissions increase, Canadian economy and population increase. However, the global slowdown that leads to a reduction in climate change will reduce the long-term cost of Canada
