29 Ecology L.Q. 395 (2002)
Climate Change 2001: Kyoto at Bonn and Marrakech

handle is hein.journals/eclawq29 and id is 405 raw text is: Climate Change 2001: Kyoto at Bonn
and Marrakech
2001 was a critical year in climate change negotiations.
Despite U.S. withdrawal, 178 countries agreed upon a text that
would allow developed countries to move forward with ratification
of the Kyoto Protocol. The agreement elaborates the means by
which an industrialized country may go about meeting the
greenhouse gas emissions reduction requirements established by
the Kyoto Protocol in 1997. The Kyoto Protocol represents the only
serious effort by the international community to address the
deleterious effects of climate change on humankind and the
environment.
