What is the Kyoto Protocol? What happened in Copenhagen? In Bali? What is the climate emissions gap?
What will be an ideal response?
At Kyoto, "38 industrial and former Eastern Bloc nations agreed to reduce emissions of six greenhouse gases to 5.2% below 1990 levels, to be achieved by 2012 . It was largely unsuccessful, with large developed countries like the United States not willing to participate." "In 2000 in Copenhagen, Denmark, 187 countries committed to setting emissions targets in the Copenhagen Accord." In 2007 a meeting occurred in Bali for planning to reduce global greenhouse emissions; however, in 2013, many countries walked out of negotiations because developing nations were not receiving the aid they were promised for making changes.
