Abstract

The article comments on the Kyoto Protocol, which is an agreement made under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The author stresses that this agreement did not produce demonstrable reductions in emissions or even in anticipated emissions growth. It is cited that Kyoto Protocol has failed not only in achieving success in slowing global warming, but also because this agreement has concealed discussion of alternative policy approaches that could contend climate change and adapt to its unavoidable consequences.
