Bosselman, Eisen, et al., Energy, Economics and the Environment (2006), selections from Chapter 16The “Rio Plus 5,” a special session of the U.N. General Assembly five years after the Rio Conference, ended without substantive commitments to GHG reductions. This led to the third conference of the parties (COP) to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC), held in Kyoto, Japan in December 1997, and the adoption of the “Kyoto Protocol.”ABA Section of Natural Resources, Energy and Environmental Law Special Committee on Climate Change and Sustainable Development1997 Annual ReportOn December 11, 1997, in Kyoto Japan, the Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) unanimously adopted the “Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change” (Kyoto Protocol). The FCCC concluded nearly two years of international negotiations involving various FCCC subsidiary bodies and resulted in an international agreement calling for binding obligations on Annex I Parties (developed countries) to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions at least five percent below 1990 levels by 2008-2012.The U.S. will have, during the first commitment period of 2008-2012, binding obligations to reduce its 1) carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide emissions seven percent below 1990 levels and 2) hydrofluorocarbon, perfluorocarbon and sulfur hexafluoride emissions seven percent below 1990 or 1995 levels. The same base years or base periods apply to all Annex I Parties except for countries with economies in transition (EITs), which are allowed some flexibility in the selection of a base year or base period. The “assigned amounts” (targets) are set forth in Annex B to protocol and include the following:Iceland 110%Australia 108%Norway 101%Russia, Ukraine, New Zealand 100%Croatia 95%Japan, Canada, Poland, Hungary 94%U.S. 93%European Union (EU) collectively, Switzerland, other EITs 92%Targets and timetables and binding obligations. Known as Quantified Emission Limitations and Reduction Objectives (QELROs), the binding commitments and targets and timetables for Annex I parties are set forth in Article 3 and Annexes A and B. The key compromise was the EU as a bloc agreeing to a collective eight percent reduction under its so-called “bubble”(see Article 4 and discussion in I.A.2, infra), with the U.S. agreeing to a seven percent reduction level and Japan agreeing to a six percent reduction level. Thus, the commitments are politically differentiated but were not determined by any formulaic means.Critical components of the agreement on targets and timetables were agreements on coverage of gases–the so-called “basket” approach–and “sinks,” or forestry-based offsets. Coverage of all six gases was crucial to the U.S. The option of being able to elect a different baseline for the second set of gases was important to Japan and other countries. No clear consensus could be reached on sinks, so the Parties agreed to limit removals by sinks to afforestation, reforestation and deforestation since 1990, subject to later decisions by the conference, taking into account work by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. See Articles 3.3, 3.4 and 3.7.“Banking” of excess reductions from the first commitment period to meet obligations in a subsequent commitment period was allowed, but “borrowing” of reductions from a subsequent commitment period to meet obligations in the first commitment period was not. See Article 3.13.Policies and measures, and the EU bubble. Under Article 4, the EU received its bubble, under which it collectively will be responsible for an eight percent reduction but will also have the flexibility to assign different targets to individual Parties. Thus, some EU countries will be able to increase their emissions, while others (such as the United Kingdom and Germany) will bear a larger share of reductions. Failure by the EU to meet the collective eight percent target will mean that each Party shall be responsible for meeting its own level of emissions set out in the EU agreement. See Article 4.5. However, the EU was only able to obtain a weakened version of policies and measures (PAMs) in Article 2. While there is still mandatory language in Article 2, implementation or “elaboration” of such PAMs appears to be discretionary in accordance with individual Parties’ national circumstances.Emissions trading and commitments for developing countries. These two issues threatened to crater the negotiations in the early hours of December 11. Ultimately, the U.S. and other Annex I Parties insisted on emissions trading,and the non-Annex I Parties (developing countries) acceded in order to avoid total collapse of the negotiations. Later, however, although many Annex I Parties and some non-Annex I Parties sought to include a U.S.-sponsored provision so that advanced developing countries could “opt in” to Annex I commitments, the U.S. acceded to developing countries’ insistence that the protocol exclude binding obligations for developing countries, the opt-in provision, and even establishment of a process for developing such commitments for developing nations.Emissions trading, joint implementation and the Clean Development Mechanism. Because no clear consensus could be forged on many critical issues, numerous framework, shell or placeholder provisions are scattered throughout the Kyoto Protocol. Notable among these are the following provisions: emissions trading (Articles 3.10, 3.11 and 16 bis); joint implementation among Annex I Parties (Articles 3.10, 3.11 and 6); the so-called Clean Development Mechanism (Articles 3.12 and 12), which became a substitute for joint implementation between Annex I and non-Annex I Parties and for the Brazil-sponsored Clean Development Fund; credit for early action from the year 2000 (Article 12.10); and enforcement and noncompliance (Article 17).NOTES AND COMMENTS1. An extensive analysis of the Kyoto Protocol is found in Michael Grubb et al., The Kyoto Protocol: A Guide and Assessment (Royal Institute of International Affairs, 1999). Perhaps the key question in the international politics of climate change is whether the developing countries will remain unified in their present posture. At one point during the Kyoto negotiations, some 35 developing countries supported a proposal to provide an explicit path by which developing countries might voluntarily adopt quantified commitments, but Brazil, India, China and the OPEC countries lined up solidly against it and it was withdrawn. Grubb, supra at 110. For a relatively optimistic look at the possibilities for reductions by developing countries, see Jonathan Baert Wiener, On the Political Economy of Global Environmental Regulation, 87 Geo. L. J. 749 (1999). For a critique of Kyoto from a deep ecology perspective, see Prue Taylor, An Ecological Approach to International Law: Responding to Challenges of Climate Change (Routledge, 1998).2. The United States, the world's biggest GHG emitter, explicitly rejected the Kyoto Protocol in 2001. President Bush said Kyoto was too costly, based onunreliable science and unfairly excluded big developing nations like India, China and Brazil which account for a third of the world's population. In 2005, on the occasion of President Bush’s visit to Europe, British Prime Minister Blair promised to try to persuade the U.S. to rethink. “The truth of the matter is without America there is no deal. We have got to do our best and use our relationship with America to try and make sure they come into agreement with us. Whether I will be able to achieve it or not, I don't know,” he told Channel Five TV. Doyle, supra. Australia, the only big developed nation on the sidelines with the United States, said it had no plans to sign up. “Until such time as the major polluters of the world, including the United States and China, are made part of the Kyoto regime it is next to useless and indeed harmful for a country such as Australia to sign up to the Kyoto Protocol,”Prime Minister John Howard told the Australian Parliament. Id.3. In July 1997, the only vote in the U.S. Senate on the Kyoto Protocol took place. By a unanimous vote of 95-0, the U.S. Senate adopted S. Res. 98, the so-called Byrd-Hagel Resolution. S. Res. 98, 105th Cong., 143 Cong. Rec. S8138-39 (daily ed. July 25, 1997). S. Res. 98 stated that the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol to, or other agreement regarding, the Climate Convention that would (A) mandate new commitments to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the Annex I [developed country] Parties, unless the protocol or other agreement also mandates new specific scheduled commitments to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions for Developing Country Parties within the same compliance period, or (B) would result in serious harm to the economy of the United States.One argument cited by a number of Senators was the same one later made by President Bush: that the Kyoto Protocol would put an unfair burden on developed countries, particularly the United States. In order for the Senate to ratify Kyoto and agree on legislation to implement it, developing countries would need to share in reductions, which they were not required to do.b. RATIFICATION OF THE KYOTO PROTOCOLIn 2004, Russia ratified the Kyoto Protocol, and it went into effect. See Doyle, supra. A key consideration in Russia’s decision to ratify the Protocol was its position as a likely net exporter of CO2 allowances, after the collapse of Soviet-era industries reduced GHG emissions in the nation. In Moscow, Russian electricity giant Unified Energy, which accounts for 2 percent of world GHG emissions, said it was close to signing 30 deals to cut emissions.Id.Scientists have stated that the Protocol’s goal of reducing GHG emissions by 5.2 percent from 1990 levels is just a first step, and a cut of at least 60 percent is needed to prevent catastrophic impacts of climate change this century. See Clouds Gather Over Future of Kyoto Climate Pact, Reuters, Feb. 11, 2005. Even if fully implemented, Kyoto would slow rising temperatures by just 0.18 F (0.1 C) by 2100, according to figures from the IPCC, and this would be a small dent in rising temperatures compared to the IPCC’s forecasts of an overall rise of 1.4-5.8 degrees Celsius this century. See IPCC 2001 Report, supra.NOTES AND COMMENTS1. Canada announced in early 2005 that it would spend between $8-10 billion (Canadian) by 2012 on its efforts to meet targets under the Kyoto Protocol. The majority of the money would be split into two projects: a $1 billion Climate Change Fund to create an emissions credit-trading program for private industry and a partnership fund for provincial clean-air efforts. Canadians also would be encouraged to reduce their energy consumption, and oil, gas and other large industries would cut GHG emissions with new clean-air equipment. CBC News Online, Apr. 8, 2005. Emissions trading is discussed further in the next section.2. The Kyoto Protocol gave support to “joint implementation,” a system where industrialized countries receive benefits from helping developing countries with their emissions reduction commitments. Kyoto Protocol Annex I countries can undertake emissions reduction projects in other Annex I countries and receive a negotiated share of the emissions reductions generated by the projects. Some commentators suggest that this may present a “free-rider” problem. See Hanafi, supra at 460, 467-69. For additional commentary on joint implementation, see Note: Joint Implementation: Legal and Institutional Issues for an Effective International Program to Combat Climate Change, 22 Harv. Envtl. L. Rev. 441 (1998).3. The Kyoto Protocol created the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to foster collaborative projects to reduce emissions or sequester carbon in developing countries. It allows an industrialized country that must reduce its emissions under the Protocol (an Annex I country) to invest in a project in a developing country without a target (non-Annex I), and claim credit for the emissions that the project achieves (known in CDM parlance as “Certified Emission Reductions”). In theory, this is done if it is easier and cheaper forthe Annex I nation to meet its GHG reduction target in this fashion; at the same time, a developing country host can benefit from new investment that increases economic productivity and may reduce local environmental problems. See Sophie Smyth, The Prototype Carbon Fund: A New Departure in International Trusts and Securities Law, Sustainable Dev’t L. & Pol’y, Spring 2005, at 28.Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol established three bodies to oversee the CDM: the representatives of the COP, an executive board established by the COP, and independent auditors to verify project activities. However, the Protocol provided almost no guidance on what exactly the CDM would do or how it would operate. Instead, the structure and authority of supervisory bodies and the CDM were left for future negotiation. The final rules for the CDM were agreed to at the 7th COP in Marrakech in 2001, with the exception of rules on carbon sinks, which were completed at the 9th COP in 2003, and some details about CDM project approval, which were delegated to the newly formed CDM Executive Board. See CDM Watch, The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Toolkit, /files/CDMToolkitVO19-02-04.pdf, for a complete description of the project application process; Annual report (2003–2004) of the Executive Board of the clean development mechanism to the Conference of the Parties, http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/cop10/02a01.pdf. The World Bank has three carbon funds for the financing of CDM projects. See . The operational details of the “Prototype Carbon Fund” are described in Smyth, supra.A “CDM Scorecard” is maintained by the group CDM Watch. See/. One observer notes that the CDM “remains under-resourced and its lethargic approval process has only sanctioned several projects to date,” and recommends more involvement from private sector firms with experience in emissions trading finance. Stephen Tully, Commercial Contributions to the Climate Change Regime: Who’s Regulating Whom?, Sustainable Dev’t L. & Pol’y, Spring 2005, at 14, 22.The CDM overlaps with the European Union’s emissions trading scheme (discussed below); CO2 emissions reduction projects undertaken outside the EU pursuant to JI and CDM may qualify for allowances that can be bought and sold within the ETS. However, one report notes that over 800 CDM projects – significantly more than the number currently approved –would be necessary to meet European reductions targets. Pew Center onGlobal Climate Change, The European Union Emission Trading Scheme: Insights and Opportunities (2005), (“Pew EU-ETS Report”).For a discussion of the possible conflict between the CDM and world trade rules, see Andrew Green, Climate Change, Regulatory Policy and the WTO, 8 J. Int’l Econ. L. 143 (2005).4. The tenth session of the COP was held in Argentina in 2004, and produced a number of decisions aimed at strengthening the climate change framework. See http://unfccc.int/. However, negotiations on commitments to GHG reductions after the Kyoto period were rejected by the U.S. as premature. Tully, supra, at 23.。

The Parties included in Annex I shall, individually or jointly, ensure that their aggregate anthropogenic carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of the greenhouse gases listed in Annex A do not exceed their assigned amounts, calculated pursuant to their quantified emission limitation and reduction commitments inscribed in Annex B and in accordance with the provisions of this Article, with a view to reducing their overall emissions of such gases by at least 5 per cent below 1990 levels in the commitment period 2008 to 2012.2. Each Party included in Annex I shall, by 2005, have made demonstrable progress in achieving its commitments under this Protocol.3. The net changes in greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks resulting from direct human-induced land-use change and forestry activities, limited to afforestation, reforestation and deforestation since 1990, measured as verifiable changes in carbon stocks in each commitment period, shall be used to meet the commitments under this Article of each Party included in Annex I. The greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks associated with those activities shall be reported in a transparent and verifiable manner and reviewed in accordance with Articles 7 and 8.4. Prior to the first session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol, each Party included in Annex I shall provide, for consideration by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice, data to establish its level of carbon stocks in 1990 and to enable an estimate to be made of its changes in carbon stocks in subsequent years. The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall, at its first session or as soon as practicable thereafter, decide upon modalities, rules and guidelines as to how, and which, additional human-induced activities related to changes in greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks in the agricultural soils and the land-use change and forestry categories shall be added to, or subtracted from, the assigned amounts for Parties included in Annex I, taking into account uncertainties, transparency in reporting, verifiability, the methodological work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the advice provided by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice in accordance with Article 5 and the decisions of the Conference of the Parties. Such a decision shall apply in the second and subsequent commitment periods. A Party may choose to apply such a decision on these additional human-induced activities for its first commitment period, provided that these activities have taken place since 1990.- 3 -5. The Parties included in Annex I undergoing the process of transition to a market economy whose base year or period was established pursuant to decision 9/CP.2 of the Conference of the Parties at its second session shall use that base year or period for the implementation of their commitments under this Article. Any other Party included in Annex I undergoing the process of transition to a market economy which has not yet submitted its first national communication under Article 12 of the Convention may also notify the Conferenceof the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol that it intends to use an historical base year or period other than 1990 for the implementation of its commitments under this Article. The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall decide on the acceptance of such notification.6. Taking into account Article 4, paragraph 6, of the Convention, in the implementation of their commitments under this Protocol other than those under this Article, a certain degree of flexibility shall be allowed by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol to the Parties included in Annex I undergoing the process of transition to a market economy.7. In the first quantified emission limitation and reduction commitment period, from 2008 to 2012, the assigned amount for each Party included in Annex I shall be equal to the percentage inscribed for it in Annex B of its aggregate anthropogenic carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of the greenhouse gases listed in Annex A in 1990, or the base year or period determined in accordance with paragraph 5 above, multiplied by five. Those Parties included in Annex Ifor whom land-use change and forestry constituted a net source of greenhouse gas emissionsin 1990 shall include in their 1990 emissions base year or period the aggregate anthropogenic carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by sources minus removals by sinks in 1990 from land-use change for the purposes of calculating their assigned amount.8. Any Party included in Annex I may use 1995 as its base year for hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride, for the purposes of the calculation referred to in paragraph 7 above.9. Commitments for subsequent periods for Parties included in Annex I shall be established in amendments to Annex B to this Protocol, which shall be adopted in accordance with the provisions of Article 21, paragraph 7. The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall initiate the consideration of such commitments at leastseven years before the end of the first commitment period referred to in paragraph 1 above.10. Any emission reduction units, or any part of an assigned amount, which a Party acquires from another Party in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 or of Article 17 shall be added to the assigned amount for the acquiring Party.11. Any emission reduction units, or any part of an assigned amount, which a Party transfers to another Party in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 or of Article 17 shall be subtracted from the assigned amount for the transferring Party.12. Any certified emission reductions which a Party acquires from another Party in accordance with the provisions of Article 12 shall be added to the assigned amount for the acquiring Party.- 4 -13. If the emissions of a Party included in Annex I in a commitment period are less than its assigned amount under this Article, this difference shall, on request of that Party, be added to the assigned amount for that Party for subsequent commitment periods.14. Each Party included in Annex I shall strive to implement the commitments mentioned in paragraph 1 above in such a way as to minimize adverse social, environmental and economic impacts on developing country Parties, particularly those identified in Article 4, paragraphs 8 and 9, of the Convention. In line with relevant decisions of the Conference of the Parties on the implementation of those paragraphs, the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall, at its first session, consider what actions are necessary to minimize the adverse effects of climate change and/or the impacts of response measures on Parties referred to in those paragraphs. Among the issues to be considered shall be the establishment of funding, insurance and transfer of technology.Article 41. Any Parties included in Annex I that have reached an agreement to fulfil their commitments under Article 3 jointly, shall be deemed to have met those commitments provided that their total combined aggregate anthropogenic carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of the greenhouse gases listed in Annex A do not exceed their assigned amounts calculated pursuant to their quantified emission limitation and reduction commitments inscribed in Annex B and in accordance with the provisions of Article 3. The respective emission level allocated to each of the Parties to the agreement shall be set out in that agreement.2. The Parties to any such agreement shall notify the secretariat of the terms of the agreement on the date of deposit of their instruments of ratification, acceptance or approvalof this Protocol, or accession thereto. The secretariat shall in turn inform the Parties and signatories to the Convention of the terms of the agreement.3. Any such agreement shall remain in operation for the duration of the commitment period specified in Article 3, paragraph 7.4. If Parties acting jointly do so in the framework of, and together with, a regional economic integration organization, any alteration in the composition of the organization after adoption of this Protocol shall not affect existing commitments under this Protocol. Any alteration in the composition of the organization shall only apply for the purposes of those commitments under Article 3 that are adopted subsequent to that alteration.5. In the event of failure by the Parties to such an agreement to achieve their total combined level of emission reductions, each Party to that agreement shall be responsible for its own level of emissions set out in the agreement.6. If Parties acting jointly do so in the framework of, and together with, a regional economic integration organization which is itself a Party to this Protocol, each member State of that regional economic integration organization individually, and together with the regional economic integration organization acting in accordance with Article 24, shall, in the event of failure to achieve the total combined level of emission reductions, be responsible for its level of emissions as notified in accordance with this Article.- 5 -Article 51. Each Party included in Annex I shall have in place, no later than one year prior to the start of the first commitment period, a national system for the estimation of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of all greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol. Guidelines for such national systems, which shall incorporate the methodologies specified in paragraph 2 below, shall be decided upon by the Conference ofthe Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol at its first session.2. Methodologies for estimating anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of all greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol shall be those accepted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and agreed upon by the Conference of the Parties at its third session. Where such methodologies are not used, appropriate adjustments shall be applied according to methodologies agreed upon by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol at its first session. Based on the work of, inter alia, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and advice provided by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice, the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall regularly review and, as appropriate, revise such methodologies and adjustments, taking fully into account any relevant decisions by the Conference of the Parties. Any revision to methodologies or adjustments shall be used only for the purposes of ascertaining compliance with commitments under Article 3 in respect of any commitment period adopted subsequent to that revision.3. The global warming potentials used to calculate the carbon dioxide equivalence of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases listed inAnnex A shall be those accepted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and agreed upon by the Conference of the Parties at its third session. Based on the work of, inter alia, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and advice provided by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice, the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall regularly review and, as appropriate, revise the global warming potential of each such greenhouse gas, taking fully into account any relevant decisions by the Conference of the Parties. Any revision to a global warming potential shall apply only to commitments under Article 3 in respect of any commitment period adopted subsequent to that revision.Article 61. For the purpose of meeting its commitments under Article 3, any Party included in Annex I may transfer to, or acquire from, any other such Party emission reduction units resulting from projects aimed at reducing anthropogenic emissions by sources or enhancing anthropogenic removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in any sector of the economy, provided that:(a) Any such project has the approval of the Parties involved;(b) Any such project provides a reduction in emissions by sources, or an enhancement of removals by sinks, that is additional to any that would otherwise occur;- 6 -(c) It does not acquire any emission reduction units if it is not in compliance with its obligations under Articles 5 and 7; and(d) The acquisition of emission reduction units shall be supplemental to domestic actions for the purposes of meeting commitments under Article 3.2. The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol may, at its first session or as soon as practicable thereafter, further elaborate guidelines forthe implementation of this Article, including for verification and reporting.3. A Party included in Annex I may authorize legal entities to participate, under its responsibility, in actions leading to the generation, transfer or acquisition under this Articleof emission reduction units.4. If a question of implementation by a Party included in Annex I of the requirements referred to in this Article is identified in accordance with the relevant provisions of Article 8, transfers and acquisitions of emission reduction units may continue to be made after the question has been identified, provided that any such units may not be used by a Party to meetits commitments under Article 3 until any issue of compliance is resolved.Article 71. Each Party included in Annex I shall incorporate in its annual inventory of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol, submitted in accordance with the relevant decisions of the Conference of the Parties, the necessary supplementary information for the purposes of ensuring compliance with Article 3, to be determined in accordance with paragraph 4 below.2. Each Party included in Annex I shall incorporate in its national communication, submitted under Article 12 of the Convention, the supplementary information necessary to demonstrate compliance with its commitments under this Protocol, to be determined in accordance with paragraph 4 below.3.

联合国气候变化框架公约的京都议定书(1997-12-11)

联合国气候变化框架公约的京都议定书(1997-12-11)

《联合国气候变化框架公约》京都议定书【概述】《京都议定书》(英文:Kyoto Protocol,又译《京都协议书》、《京都条约》;全称《联合国气候变化框架公约的京都议定书》)是《联合国气候变化框架公约》(United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change,UNFCCC)的补充条款。

是1997年12月在日本京都由联合国气候变化框架公约参加国三次会议制定的。

其目标是“将大气中的温室气体含量稳定在一个适当的水平,进而防止剧烈的气候改变对人类造成伤害”。

1997年12月条约在日本京都通过,并于1998年3月16日至1999年3月15日间开放签字,共有84国签署,条约于2005年2月16日开始强制生效,到2009年2月,一共有183个国家通过了该条约(超过全球排放量的61%),引人注目的是美国没有签署该条约。

条约规定,它在“不少于55个参与国签署该条约并且温室气体排放量达到附件I中规定国家在1990年总排放量的55%后的第90天”开始生效,这两个条件中,“55个国家”在2002年5月23日当冰岛通过后首先达到,2004年12月18日俄罗斯通过了该条约后达到了“55%”的条件,条约在90天后于2005年2月16日开始强制生效。

《京都议定书》的签署是为了人类免受气候变暖的威胁发达国家从2005年开始承担减少碳排放量的义务,而发展中国家则从2012年开始承担减排义务。

《京都议定书》需要在占全球温室气体排放量55%以上的至少55个国家批准,才能成为具有法律约束力的国际公约。

中国于1998年5月签署并于2002年8月核准了该议定书。

欧盟及其成员国于2002年5月31日正式批准了《京都议定书》。

2004年11月5日,俄罗斯总统普京在《京都议定书》上签字,使其正式成为俄罗斯的法律文本。

截至2005年8月13日,全球已有142个国家和地区签署该议定书,其中包括30个工业化国家,批准国家的人口数量占全世界总人口的80%。

京都协议书的重要性

京都协议书的重要性

京都协议书的重要性近年来,全球变暖和气候变化问题日益突出,给地球带来严重的环境和经济影响。

为了应对这一全球性挑战,联合国于1997年在日本京都召开了"京都议定书"(Kyoto Protocol),该协议旨在通过减少温室气体排放来减缓全球变暖的速度。

本文将探讨京都协议书的重要性,并阐明其对环境保护和全球可持续发展的意义。

首先,京都协议书在全球层面上明确了减少温室气体排放的目标。

根据协议的规定,发达国家应在2008年至2012年间将温室气体排放量减少到1990年水平的5.2%以下。

这一目标的设定推动了各国采取更加积极的措施,限制碳排放,提高节能减排的意识。

借助京都协议书,国际社会一同努力,共同应对温室气体排放问题,为全球环境带来了重要的变化。

其次,京都协议书促进了可持续发展的理念在全球范围内的实施。

协议鼓励各国通过开发和推广清洁技术、减少能源浪费和优化能源利用,以推动经济的可持续发展。

通过向世界各地传播可再生能源和节能减排的实践经验,京都协议书能够引导各国改变发展方式,减少对有限资源的依赖,为人类创造更加可持续的未来。

此外,京都协议书在提高发展中国家的环境保护意识和能力方面发挥了重要作用。

协议鼓励发达国家提供资金、技术和培训支持给发展中国家,以帮助他们应对气候变化和环境问题。

这种合作机制不仅有助于发展中国家加强环境保护,还促进了国际间的合作与交流,增进了发展中国家与发达国家之间的友好关系。

另外,京都协议书还推动了碳交易和碳市场的发展,为减排行动提供了有力的经济激励措施。

通过引入碳排放配额和碳交易机制,协议为各国提供了更广阔的减排路径,并创造了经济利益和商机。

这种市场化的措施鼓励各方积极参与,刺激了低碳、清洁技术的发展和应用,同时也为全球减排提供了更加灵活和高效的手段。

然而,尽管京都协议书在全球范围内取得了积极的成果,但仍然面临着一些挑战。

首先,国家之间的差异导致减排目标和措施的落实存在一定的不平衡,其中一些发展中国家面临着减排技术和资金的瓶颈。

京都协议书6篇

京都协议书6篇

京都协议书6篇篇1《京都协议书》是联合国气候变化框架公约(UNFCCC)的一个附件,正式名称为《京都议定书》(Kyoto Protocol)。

该协议于1997年12月11日在日本京都签署,旨在应对全球气候变化问题,通过减少温室气体的排放,以达到减缓全球气候变暖的目标。

《京都协议书》的核心内容是规定发达国家在特定时期内减少温室气体排放量。

根据协议的规定,发达国家应在1990年排放量的基础上,分阶段减少温室气体排放,达到约定的减排目标。

其中,美国、德国、日本等发达国家被设定为减排的主要责任方。

同时,协议还设立了“清洁发展机制”(CDM)和“联合执行”(JI)等灵活机制,允许发达国家通过投资和合作来实现减排目标。

《京都协议书》的签署和履行对全球气候变化治理具有重要意义。

首先,协议明确了发达国家应对气候变化问题的责任和义务,为国际社会建立了减排标准。

其次,协议促进了发达国家的减排行动,在一定程度上减缓了全球气候变暖的速度。

同时,协议还为发展中国家提供了技术和资金支持,促进了全球减排合作。

然而,《京都协议书》也面临着一些挑战和批评。

一方面,协议的减排目标被指责过于宽松,无法有效减缓全球气候变暖的速度。

另一方面,一些发达国家退出或未能履行协议,导致其实施效果受到质疑。

面对全球气候变化的挑战,《京都协议书》只是众多气候变化治理措施中的一部分。

随着时间的推移,国际社会也不断在气候变化议题上进行深入讨论和合作。

例如,2015年巴黎协定作为《京都协议书》的延续和加强,进一步规定了全球减排目标和行动方案,成为当前国际气候治理的主要框架。

总的来说,虽然《京都协议书》在全球气候治理史上具有里程碑意义,但其实施效果和应对挑战仍然亟待国际社会共同努力。

只有各国共同合作,共同努力,才能有效减缓全球气候变暖,保护地球家园的可持续发展。

篇2京都协议书是联合国气候变化框架公约下的一个重要文件,于1997年通过并生效。

它被视为全球气候变化领域的里程碑,旨在应对温室气体排放和全球气候变暖等问题。

Kyoto Protocol

Kyoto Protocol
On 31 May 2002, all fifteen then-members of the European Union deposited the relevant ratification paperwork at the UN. The EU produces around 22% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and has agreed to a cut, on average, by 8% from 1990 emission levels. On 10 January 2007, the European Commission announced plans for a European Union energy policy that included a unilateral 20% reduction in GHG emissions by 2020. The EU has consistently been one of the major nominal supporters of the Kyoto Protocol, negotiating hard to get wavering countries on board.
Definition
The Kyoto Protocol is a plan created by the United Nations for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that tries to reduce the effects of climate change, such as global warming.
The objective of the Kyoto climate change conference was to establish a legally binding international agreement, whereby all the participating nations commit themselves to deal with the issue of global warming and greenhouse gas emissions. The target agreed upon was an average reduction of 5.2% from 1990 levels by the year 2012. Contrary to popular belief, the Protocol will NOT expire(期满) in 2012. In 2012, Annex I countries must have fulfilled their obligations of reduction of greenhouse gases emissions established for the first commitment period (2008-2012) .

京都議定書(Kyoto Protocol)此議定書主要是為避免全球暖化問題日益嚴重,1997年12月由「聯合國氣候變化綱要公約」締約國簽署「京都議定書」,規定工業化國家到2008年至2012年之間必須使其全部溫室氣體排放量,與1990年相比,至少削減5%。

各國削減目標為:歐盟削減8%、美國削減7%、日本削減6%、加拿大削減6%、東歐各國削減5%至8%。

京都議定書於1998年3月16日開放供簽署,且至少要有55個締約方和其中至少占1990年二氧化碳排放總量55%以上的發達國家批准本議定書之後,第九十天起才行生效。

由於2004年9月30日俄羅斯政府的關鍵性加入,京都議定書將在2005年2月開始生效。

《京都議定書》為了21世紀的地球免受氣候變暖的威脅,1997年12月,在日本東京召開的《聯合國氣候變化框架公約》締約方第三次會議透過了旨在限制發達國家溫室氣體排放量以抑制全球變暖的《京都議定書》。

《京都議定書》規定,2012年前,主要工業發達國家溫室氣體排放量要在1990年的基礎上平均減少5.2%。

具體說來,各發達國家從2008年到2012年必須完成的削減目標是:與1990年相比,歐盟削減8%、美國削減7%、日本削減6%、加拿大削減6%、東歐各國削減5%至8%。

新西蘭、俄羅斯和烏克蘭可將排放量穩定在1990年水準上。

議定書同時允許愛爾蘭、澳大利亞和挪威的排放量比1990年分別增加10%、8%、1%。

《京都議定書》需要佔1990年全球溫室氣體排放量55%以上的至少55個國家和地區核準之後,才能成為具有法律約束力的國際公約。

中國於1998年5月簽署並於2002年8月核準了該議定書。

歐盟及其成員國於2002年5月31日正式批准了《京都議定書》。

2004年11月,俄總統普京在《京都議定書》上簽字,使該議定書正式成為俄羅斯的法律文本。

2004年12月,沙烏地阿拉伯正式批准《京都議定書》。

截至2004年12月,已有129個國家及地區批准加入議定書,議定書將於2005年2月正式生效。

為了促進各國完成溫室氣體減排目標,議定書允許採取以下四種減排方式:一、兩個發達國家之間可以進行排放額度買賣的“排放權交易”,即難以完成削減任務的國家,可以花錢從超額完成任務的國家買進超出的額度。

二、以“凈排放量”計算溫室氣體排放量,即從本國實際排放量中扣除森林所吸收的二氧化碳的數量。

三、可以採用綠色開發機制,促使發達國家和發展中國家共同減排溫室氣體。

四、可以採用“集團方式”,即歐盟內部的許多國家可視為一個整體,採取有的國家削減、有的國家增加的方法,在總體上完成減排任務。

美國人口僅佔全球人口的3%至4%,而所排放的二氧化碳卻佔全球排放量的25%以上,為全球溫室氣體排放量最大的國家。

美國曾於1998年簽署了《京都議定書》。

但2001年3月,布希政府以“減少溫室氣體排放將會影響美國經濟發展”和“發展中國家也應該承擔減排和限排溫室氣體的義務”為藉口,宣佈拒絕批准《京都議定書》。

所在位置:京都議定書(1997.12)1.重點及摘要2.制訂背景3.聯合國氣候變化綱要公約第三次締約國大會4.結論與未來國際趨勢分析5.我國因應公約之急迫性6.我國於公約的定位7.京都議定書條文8.京都議定書簽署國重點及摘要基於公約採取「共同但具差異性的責任」,被公約列為附件一國家的工業先進國必須先行減量,因而具法律效力之附件一國家減量議定書於1997年12月在日本京都召開第三次締約方大會時通過執行,又稱「京都議定書」。

「京都議定書」係依據各國所提建議案再行協商以達共識。

其重點包括:1.總量管制:工業國家將削減溫室氣體總排放量5.2﹪,與人為排放量自然成長趨勢比較約削減30﹪。

2.個別或跨國合作減量。

3.目標期:減量成果以2008~2012五年平均為計算依據。

4.管制氣體:CO2、CH4、N2O氣體減量以1990為基準年。

HFCs、PFCs、SF6氣體減量可採1990或1995為基準年。

5.排放量計算:1990基準年為「淨排放量」,即人為排放量減去吸存量。

而1990年後進行造林、植林與伐木產生之排放淨值可與人為排放量抵減。

6.排放交易制度:另行訂定。

7.成立「綠色發展融資機制」提供經援協助減量。

8.罰則:將另行訂定。

9.生效期:1998.3.16~1999.3.15為議定書公開簽署期間。

獲國內法定程序通過之附件一國家二氧化碳排放量須佔所有附件一國家1990年總排放量55%以上,且批准國家達55國以上後90日議定書始生效。

10.非附件一國家:現階段並無新增減量義務。

11.原非附件一國家摩納哥、列茲敦斯登、斯洛維尼亞與克羅埃西亞列入減量國以1990年為基準年。

12.減量目標不同因各國情況而異。

減量目標與期程如下:「氣候變化綱要公約」京都議定書(1997)∙制訂背景經歐洲聯盟與國際能源總署評估各國所提交之國家通訊,以歐洲聯盟為例只有英國、德國、荷蘭、廬森堡四國,可望在2000年時將CO2排放回歸本國1990年的水準。

1996年根據政府間氣候變化小組(IPCC)發表的第二次評估報告,全球二氧化碳的濃度仍在不斷上升,全球暖化的趨勢非常明確,原公約減量目標普遍認為並不被認真執行,在國際上引起很大的批評與爭議,於是於第二次締約國大會(COP2)要求訂定具有法律效力的議定書,以管制溫室氣體的排放,當時對許多極富爭議之問題,雖未獲得解決,但已形成共識。

∙聯合國氣候變化綱要公約第三次締約國大會聯合國氣候變化綱要公約第三次締約國大會於1997年12月1日至10日於日本京都舉行共有159個締約國、250個非政府組織及各媒體參加,總人數逾一萬人。

「京都議定」書全文共27條及A、B兩個附件,主要條文為:A.減量期程與目標值:工業國(公約「附件一」成員及摩洛哥與列支敦斯登,共39個)以個別或共同方式,將人為排放之六種溫室氣體換算為二氧化碳總量,與1990年相較,平均削減值5.2%,同時採差異性削減目標之方式:歐洲聯盟及東歐各國8%、美國7%、日本、加拿大、匈牙利、波蘭6%,另冰島、澳洲、挪威則各增加10%、8%、1%(表一)。

減量期程為2008至2012年,並以此5年的平均值為準。

(第3.7條)B.六種溫室氣體中,CO2、CH4、N2O管制基準年為1990年,而HFCs、PFCs與SF6為1995年。

(第3.7、3.8條)C.碳排放權交易制度:允許議定書簽約國彼此間可以進行排放交易。

(第6及16 bis條)D.森林吸收溫室氣體之功能應予以考量,即1990年以後所進行之植林、再植林及森林採伐之二氧化碳吸收或排放之淨值,可包涵於削減量之內。

(第3.3及5條)E.成立「清潔發展機制」:由工業國對開發中國家進行技術及財務協助其溫室氣體減量計畫,所減之數量由雙方分享。

(第12條)。

F.簽署:1998年3月16日起至1999年3月15日止,在紐約聯合國總部開放公約成員簽署,其後開放加入、批准、接受或認可。

(第23.1條)G.生效:當認可議定書國家達55國,且認可國家中附件一成員之1990年CO2排放量須至少須占全體附件一成員當年排放總量之55%,則議定書於其後第90天開始生效。

(第24.1條)結論與未來國際趨勢分析由於京都議定書之制訂限制二氧化碳排放,將直接衝擊各國之能源配比與產業結構,影響各國經濟發展,甚至損及國際競爭力。

京都會議後,可以很清楚地發現國際態勢已由過去的東西意識形態對抗,轉變成南北對立,已開發國家與開發中國家之競爭,甚至可稱為富有國家與貧窮國家之戰爭。

依京都議定書之結論,地球資源勢必將重新分配,而二氧化碳排放權將成為下一世紀最珍貴之資源。

在京都會議期間,美國堅持主要開發中國家(key country)(如:中國和印度)亦應承擔管制溫室氣體之責任,但引起強烈反對。

據分析,已開發國家勢必堅持繼續討論開發中國家之責任。

而相關制裁條款(究竟採罰金或貿易制裁方式)及排放權交易制度,均可能於近幾年中定案。

當然最重要的,京都議定書是否如期生效,仍值得觀察。

∙我國因應公約之急迫性雖然我國並不是聯合國之會員,無法簽署京都議定書,且目前並無減量責任。

依國際環保公約之經驗,我國既使不簽署公約及享受權利,但相關義務,卻仍需履行;諸如蒙特婁議定書、華盛頓公約等,若我不遵守,曾有遭到貿易制裁之經驗。

因此,我國有下列幾點理由必須因應公約:.環境保護的觀點:我國身為地球村的成員,為善盡保護地球之責任,應積極因應。

A.避免國際制裁的觀點:若不遵行,恐遭國際未來可能採取之制裁,如罰款或貿易制裁等方式,造成產業之損失。

B.提升國家競爭力的觀點:預期各國為因應本議定書都將發展高效率之技術,我國若不及早因應參與國際互動,引進技術,將喪失我國之國際競爭力。

C.產業、能源之調適期的觀點:依各國經驗,能源結構與產業政策之調整約需十至十五年時間,及早因應與縝密的規劃,可降低經濟衝擊。

即使未來京都議定書未能如期生效,我國現階段亦應以「無悔策略」積極推動相關措施。

所謂「無悔策略」意指一個國家在因應氣候變遷時,衡諸國際互動的步調與本國特有狀況,所採取的適宜策略,該措施除可減緩溫室效益外,亦存在相關邊際效益。

例如:節約能源可為後代子孫保育有限資源;推廣使用乾淨能源減少空氣污染物排放,改善區域性空氣品質;植樹造林可改善地區性微氣象形態、防止土壤侵蝕、減少季節性水患發生機率等。

∙我國於公約的定位根據1997年工業局委託中華經濟研究院所進行之研究,我國若被定位為「附件一成員」,則對我經濟結構衝擊過大,勢必無法承擔;經評估,在同樣減量情境下,我國減量幅度較已開發國家高10至20倍以上,違反公約公平合理精神;但僅自我定位為「非附件一成員」,則又將被視為逃避溫室氣體減量責任。

其實,聯合國研擬公約條文時,已將OECD國家和轉型國家(前蘇聯與東歐諸國)列為「附件一成員」,而將小島國家、新興工業國家、開發中國家但具相當工業規模者、產油國及低度開發國家列為「非附件一成員」。

因此,依公約原則各國應承擔共同但程度不同的責任之精神,我國可自我定位為「非附件一成員」中「新興工業國」(Newly Industrialized Countries, NICs)。

根據加拿大McGill大學Malcolm Cook之研究,台灣、南韓、新加坡與香港(俗稱亞洲四小龍)均係以出口為導向的工業化方式(Export OrientedIndustrialization, EOI)造成高度經濟成長,可稱為新興工業國。

另根據李國鼎先生著作(The Evolutio n of Policy Behind Taiwan’s Development Success, 1995)所述台灣已被OECD視為十個新興工業國之一。

由於「新興工業國」的經濟發展與國民所得遠遠超過開發中國家,預期氣候公約下一階段將以「新興工業國」為管制對象,加上歐盟曾提案將與我國情相似的南韓納為附件一成員,都正提醒我們應以更積極態度面對公約發展。
