Russia
2003 Russia International Climate Conference
29th Sept. 2003 : As the International Climate Conference gets under way in Moscow many are wondering if one of the most important steps for curbing global warming ( Kyoto Protocol ) is in danger of collapsing. The protocol is designed to measure current greenhouse emissions relative to a 1990 baseline which suits some countries including Russia and other Former Soviet bloc countries. Two conditions were required for the Protocol to come into force
1. At least 55 countries must ratify ( Yes )
2. Must be ratified by countries whose combined greenhouse gas production accounts for at least 55% of emissions from industrialized nations. ( Failed ) US Has not ratified who are the largest emitter of combined greenhouse gas production and Australia has not ratified.
Many poorer countries were hoping America would ratify which would allow them to sell "emissions credits" . Now even Russia who were hoping to sell some of those emission credits has announced they may not sign and if they do not and America continues to refuse to ratify, the Kyoto treaty may well die and with it any immediate future for global measures to effect climate change.
