Gupta et al. (2007) [69] also examined the 450 ppm projected scenarios for non-Annex I parts. Non-Annex I emissions are projected to be reduced in several regions (Latin America, the Middle East, East Asia and Central Asia) to be significantly reduced under the “business-as-usual” by 2020. [69] Business-as-usuals are not projected in Schedule I in the absence of new emission control measures. Emissions in all regions outside Annex I are projected to be significantly reduced by 2050 under the “business-as-usual” level. [69] The United States and China, two of the world`s largest emitters, have produced enough greenhouse gases to mitigate the progress of nations that have achieved their goals. In fact, global emissions increased by about 40% between 1990 and 2009. This political turnaround received a massive wave of criticism, quickly picked up by the international media. Environmental groups blew up the White House, while Europeans and Japanese expressed deep concern and regret. […] Almost all world leaders (China. B, Japan, South Africa, Pacific Islands, etc.) expressed their disappointment at Bush`s decision. Monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of the actions undertaken There is a framework of transparency that will not be intrusive or penalizing, but which must be used to build trust between the various actors.
It also foresees that from 2023, the United Nations will present a report every five years (global report) on the implementation of the agreement and the progress made – the impact of climate contributions, the mobilization of financial and technological resources, global temperature forecasts, etc. Gupta et al. (2007) evaluated the literature on climate policy. They found that no relevant evaluation of the UNFCCC or its protocol has stated that these agreements will solve the climate problem or be successful. [23] In these evaluations, it was considered that the UNFCCC or its protocol would not be changed. The Framework Convention and its protocol contain provisions for future policy measures to be taken. The World Bank (2010) [120] stated that the Kyoto Protocol had had little impact on controlling global emissions growth. The treaty was negotiated in 1997, but by 2006 energy-related carbon dioxide emissions had increased by 24%.
[121] The World Bank (2010) also stated that the treaty had provided only limited financial assistance to developing countries to help them reduce their emissions and adapt to climate change. [120] In 2019, the dialogue is still alive, but it has turned into a complex quagmire where there is politics, money, lack of leadership, lack of consensus and bureaucracy. Despite countless plans and some measures, no solution to the problems of greenhouse gas emissions and global warming has been implemented today. In 2011, Canada, Japan and Russia said they would not meet other Kyoto targets. [106] The Canadian government announced on December 12, 2011, effective December 15, 2012, its possible withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol, effective December 15, 2012[107] Canada has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to 6% below 1990 levels by 2012, but in 2009 emissions were 17% to 190 higher. The Harper government has prioritized oil sands development in Alberta and de-introduced the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Environment Minister Peter Kent called Canada`s responsibility for “enormous financial sanctions” under the treaty unless he withdrew. [106] [108] He also suggested that the recently signed Durban Agreement could provide another way forward. [109] The Harper government has said it will find a “Made in Canada” solution. Canada`s decision was generally not well received by representatives of other ratification countries. [109] The parties reported considerable uncertainty with respect to LUCF`s emissions, but overall there appeared to be only a slight difference of 1.7% with and without LUCF.
