KYOTO PROTOCOL: CONTROL OF C02 EMISSIONS

Rishabh Patill

ABSTRACT
The Kyoto Protocol is a global treaty that focuses on the reduction of carbon emissions which
causes global warming. Globally earth emits around 43 trillion carbon dioxide each year. At
that rate, global temperature will rise to 1.5- and 2-degree celsius till 20502. Developed
nations contribute to the highest percentage of carbon emissions. Around 750 billion tons of
ice melts each year which leads to a 30-centimeter rise in sea level by 2050 that is enough for
500 million people around the world to lose their homes. Rising temperatures, drought,
wildfires, insect outbreaks, floods, respiratory problems are just some of the initial problems
we are facing. Bigger challenges are on their way as we are facing a climate emergency now.
Everything humans purchase on earth comes with global consequences.
