Non-industrial emissions key for meeting Kyoto targets Non-industrial emissions key for meeting Kyoto targets A report by the European Environment Agency released today shows that the European Union and all Member States but one are on track to meet their Kyoto Protocol commitments to limit and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Not just hot air — global diplomacy and the search for a successor to the Kyoto Protocol Not just hot air — global diplomacy and the search for a successor to the Kyoto Protocol Every winter the gates of Copenhagen's famous Tivoli Gardens, an old-world amusement park in the city centre, open to officially mark the beginning of the extended Christmas period. This December the twinkling lights of Tivoli will most likely be outshone by COP 15 — the most important global climate change meeting ever — as thousands of diplomats, politicians, business people, environmentalists, media and climate experts from around the globe flock to the Danish capital.
