In the two-week meeting, starting today in the leadership of the United Nations, the validity period is predicted to determine the negotiation framework and calendar for a new agreement that will replace the Kyoto Protocol, which will expire in 2012. The United Nations authorities hope that the new agreement was prepared in two years.
[[T]]The four separate scientific reports that thousands of scientists working in the patronage of theBM announced this year, the climate change was formed by the human hand, and the results were indicated that they could lead to disaster. [ [The competent authority responsible for the fight against the climate change of the United Nations Yvo de Boer stated that the United States in the conference will also play a key role; the U.S. would not be reasonable to develop a long-term strategy for fighting climate change without the support of the US.
The US is the largest manufacturer of greenhouse gases, which are thought to lead climate change. U.S. and Australia did not implement Kyoto Protocol, aimed at 5 percent of its levels in 1990. However, the new government inherited power today in Australia states that it will confirm and implement the agreement.
[From, what to expect?]
When working to develop a formula that can get the support of Washington management in the community, economies will quickly discuss what steps will be expected from China, India, etc. Kyoto Protocol gives its responsibility to advanced countries; they did not expect any concrete action from developing countries. Especially US wants to make sacrifices in countries such as China and India. These countries argue that the responsibility for the struggle has fallen into industrialized countries, which have been released to the atmosphere for years.
While sitting on the table in the US conference, there is no change in the attitude. But American heyeti says they will be flexible and constructive. President George Bush defends the development of cleaner technologies instead of binding limitations. Since the European Union is binding targets. Union aims to reduce 20 percent of greenhouse gases from 2020 within its limits.
In public; also determination of a long-term target to limit the carbon release and temperature rises, convincing the more serious limitations of advanced countries, expanding carbon markets, researching clean technology facilities and collaboration in sharing, providing resources to help countries to keep up to global warming and tackle titles such as maintaining tropical forests.
However at the end of the Whale meeting, it is not expected to be revealed with all lines of a protocol that will provide conversion. Discussions on this topic will probably continue for longer periods.
