Led by the United Nations, the Protocol sets targets for the greenhouse gas emissions of developed countries for the period 2008 to 2012 (the first commitment period). It is named after a Japan city. The Kyoto Protocol had to be signed and ratified by 55 countries. Only countries that ratify the protocol are bound by it.
New Zealand a developed country. They ratified on 19 December 2002. New Zealand will have to limit its levels of greenhouse gases to 1990 levels on average.New Zealand has announced that it is prepared to take on a conditional responsibility target for greenhouse gas emissions reductions of between 10 per cent and 20 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020.
New Zealand will have to publish Fifth National Communication Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. This includes projections of emissions and removals of the six main sectors such as- Agriculture, Energy, Industrial process, solvents, waste and land use, land use change and forestry. These are the sectors which New Zealand will have to reduce and remove.
The Kyoto Protocol is the United Nations framework convention on climate change, aimed at fighting global warming. The UNFCCC is an environmental treaty with the goal to balance of green house and gas concentrating in the atmosphere a level that would prevent dangerous interference with the climate system. At that time New Zealand also started a climate change rule to help its duties for the Protocol’s first commitment period and the long-term climate change goal being that “New Zealand should have made significant greenhouse gas reductions on business as usual and be set towards a permanent downward path for total overweight emissions by 2012.”
*On December 11th 1997, the Kyoto Protocol was negotiated as an addition to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Kyoto, Japan and was later approved on the 16th of February 2005. The Kyoto protocol is aimed at fighting global warming and greenhouse gas emissions.
*The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an environmental treaty that keeps greenhouse gas concentrations at a level that won't interfere with the climate. Under the protocol 37 countries have agreed to the reduction of four greenhouse gases which are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and sulphur hexafluoride. Annex 1 countries, richer countries, have also agreed to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 5.2%
*NZ needs to reduce their use of cars as an alternative for transport and lessen their use of oil as an energy source, this will decrease the amount of carbon emissions and make NZ as green as they say they are. NZ also needs to start using non-renewable energy sources more often, such as solar energy, wind turbines, hydro electric power, etc.
Kyoto protocol is an international agreement linked to the United State Framework Convention on Climate Change. The purpose of this agreement to negotiate binding limitations on the greenhouse gases for the developed nations, pursuant to the objectives of the Framework Convention on the Climate Change of 1992. Our potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the net costs of doing so, depend on the way in which carbon taken up and released by forestry activities or restoration of native forests and other ecosystems is measured and accounted for, including effects on soil carbon. The mitigation potential and costs for different sectors can also be affected by other details of the greenhouse gas accounting system that will be agreed internationally.
New Zealand has undertaken to ensure that its average annual emissions during the 5-year period 2008-2012 are the same as 1990 emissions, after allowing for any international transfers of Kyoto-compliant carbon credits.
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change or in other words it is like an international environmental treaty that aims to set targets or goals for countries that have joined to stabilize and reduce the levels of Green House Gases that would help prevent the interference with our Climate Change. There is a major difference between the Protocol & UNFCCC as the UNFCCC only promote industrial countries to join the agreement while the protocol commits the Country to contribute to the reduction on GHG. To help reduce carbon emissions in the air NZ needs to reduce their dependency on Oil as oil is our main source of energy for example decreasing our use of cars or improving transport systems.
Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement which is linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate change, therefore relating to global warming. This agreement is named after a Japanese city, Kyoto. The leading reason for this project is to set required objectives for countries and to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. With this protocol the countries are obliged to reduce their carbon emissions, with no excuses whereas the convention is just an encouragement. This affects New Zealand as we are an established country and because of this we are responsible for the high levels of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, in order to reduce this factor New Zealand must join together to help assist with the reduction of carbon emissions. The main example of the cause for carbon emission is fossil fuel. Fossil fuel is burnt and releases carbon and gases that cause harm to our environment and sometimes our health.
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement related to the United Nations Framework Convention on climate change (UNFCCC). This protocol was first adopted on December 11th 1997 in Kyoto, Japan and entered into force on February 16th 2005. The 37 countries, known as the Annex 1 countries, who are under this protocol have committed themselves to reducing four greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and sulphur hexafluoride) in order to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Their main aim is to reduce their collective greenhouse gas emissions by 5.2% from the 1990 level.
New Zealand must reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to below their 1990 level. Some drafts and theories have already been drafted by the government and ready to be sent to UNFCCC.
Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement that aim to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and the presence of Green House gasses. Countries that ratify the Kyoto Protocol are assigned maximum carbon emission levels and can participate in carbon credit trading. Emitting more the assigned limit will result in a penalty for the violating country in the form of a lower emission limiting in the following period. The Government is working actively to secure an effective global agreement on climate change to succeed the Kyoto Protocol after 2012. An important issue in these international negotiations is the commitment New Zealand makes on a greenhouse gas emissions target for 2020. This decision has significant ramifications for New Zealand households and businesses. We need to balance the need to make progress in reducing emissions to protect the environment with the impacts on jobs, investments and costs to consumers. New Zealand intends to announce its policy target for 2020 at the next stage of international negotiations in Bonn in August. This document and a series of meetings being held around New Zealand are to enable public input into this process.
The Kyoto Protocol is a protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC or FCCC), aimed at fighting global warming. ... The United Nations framework conventions on climate are an international environmental treaty with the goal of achieving "stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on 11 December 1997 and entered into force on 16 February 2005.
There have been many different solutions to reduce greenhouse gases that are linked to climate change. The Kyoto Protocol aims at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in 37 industrialized countries (including New Zealand) and the European community. This international agreement commits to addressing the issue of global warming and delaying climate change. These developed countries have dedicated themselves to decreasing their greenhouse gas emissions to 5% below the level they were in 1990 over a five year period (2008-2012). The Kyoto Protocol was initially adopted on 11 December 1997 in Kyoto, Japan. Fifty- five countries had to have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol in order for it to enter into force. On 16 February 2005 the protocol entered into force with New Zealand ratifying on 19 December 2002. Once ratified to the Protocol, countries are bound by it.
New Zealand’s obligation under the Kyoto Protocol is to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels on average over the five year time period. Also New Zealand obligates to take responsibility for any emissions over these levels. But the latest greenhouse gas inventory show that New Zealand has increased its greenhouse emissions between the years 1990 and 2008. The New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) is one method to help New Zealand meet its international obligations in the most cost-effective way. The Emissions Trading Scheme “puts a price on greenhouse gases to provide an incentive to reduce emissions and to encourage tree planting”.
New Zealand must find ways in order to reduce the greenhouse gases in our environment. New Zealanders have the ability to change our dependency on fossil fuels. When fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas, are burned, tonnes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere. Alternative renewable energy sources are solutions to the growing greenhouse gas emissions. Solar power, wind power, hydro-electric power and geothermal power are just some of the renewable energy sources that could replace our need for fossil fuels. This will eventually reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
Peak oil is when in time reached their maximum rate of Petroleum extraction after which it enters terminal decline. It’s also when you extracted from the earth. Usually the oil field exponentially until the rate of peaks and then declines-sometimes it rapidly-Until the field is depleted. Peak oil is often confused with Oil depletion, peak oil is at the point of maximum production while Oil depletion refers to the falling reserves and supply. Oil depletion happens in the second half of the production curve of an oil well, oil field or the average total of oil production. The Hubbert theory makes the prediction of the production rates basic on the prior discovery and the anticipated rates.
The optimistic estimation of peak production forecast that the global begins by 2020 or later. The major investment is in the alternatives that will occur before a crisis without the requiring major changes in lifestyle of heavily oil-consuming nations.
In 2007 the primary sources of energy consisted of 36.0% petroleum, 27.4% coal, 23.0% natural gas ads up to 86.4% which shares the fossil fuel. In 2006 they included the Non-fossil 6.3% Hydroelectric, 8.5% Nuclear and others one like geothermal, solar, tide, wind, wood and waste amounting to 0.9 percent.
I was reading your blog and I immediately wanted to share my knowledge on the Kyoto protocol with you. In 1997; a negotiation which included many countries participating to cut down their greenhouse gas emissions was signed and then ratified in 2005. This was signed because the concentration of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have reached an all-time high for over 800,000 years. This comes mostly from High-population countries like India and China due to their huge population.] And quite frankly, the Kyoto Protocol has failed and will fail all of its objectives/Targets by 2012. This tells us that it’s too late to stop the Global Warming process. Every day the issue of Global Warming increases. Take for instance New Zealand; their weather has had a noticeable change for the worse. Just recently there was a Funnel cloud which formed in Auckland which is very rare. That goes to show that climate around the world is changing.
