Abstract
- This paper intends to give a brief account of provisions of Kyoto Protocol along with the current position of the governments of countries playing key role in the implementation of the protocol. This protocol is a unique instrument of international law in the sense that it sets legally binding target for reduction of emission of greenhouse gases in the climate. Such targets are unprecedented in an environmental agreement. Though this protocol envisages great deal of mechanism both legal and economic, it is considered only to be the first stage in the process of climate change. This Protocol is considered to be innovative in the sphere of international law because of large amount of trade involved in its implementation which is also unprecedented in the international environmental treaties.
