Kyoto Protocol and alternatives

Three research projects convened by Climate Strategies in immediate response to the collapse of The Hague negotiations in November 2000 and the subsequent statements by the new US Administration rejecting the Kyoto Protocol. 

"Keeping Kyoto - A study of approaches to maintaining the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change", examines the issues raised by, and the prospects for, maintaining the Kyoto Protocol.

“Rejecting Kyoto - A Study of Proposed Alternatives to the Kyoto Protocol”, examines proposals which have emanated principally from the US following the debate about alternative approaches to the international climate change negotiations. 

“Carbon sinks and biomass energy”, addresses technical issues surrounding the treatment of carbon sinks, and linkages to the use of carbon sinks in the form of biomass energy.
