Our class biking

Our tour

O We were on amazing class biking tour in

Jakubowo. We rode 12 kilometres. We

enjoyed it very much, because we were very

close to the nature. We could see the

natural habitat of many animals living in the

forest.

Kyoto Protocol

What is a protocol?

O Protocol is a set of rules, which enable us to

reach an agreement.

Which are the antecedents of the Kyoto Protocol?

O Before Kyoto Protocol, UN signed The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It is an international environmental treaty negotiated at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, informally known as the Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro from 3 to 14 June 1992. The objective of the treaty is to "stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous human induced with the climate system".

What is the Kyoto Protocol?

O The Kyoto Protocol is a plan created by

the United Nations for the United Nations

Framework Convention on Climate Change that

tries to reduce the effects of climate change,

such as global warming. The plan says

that countries that adopt (follow) the Kyoto

Protocol have to try to reduce how much carbon

dioxide (and other "greenhouse gases" that

pollute the atmosphere) they release into the air.

What is climate change?

O It means the difference in the Earth's global climate or in regional climates over time.

O Rising levels of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere have warmed the Earth and are causing wide-ranging impacts, including rising sea levels; melting snow and ice; more extreme heat events, fires and drought; and more extreme storms, rainfall and floods.

O The temperature rise because of the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, such as methane, nitrous oxide, etc. which trap heat into the Earth’s atmosphere. A lot of the greenhouse gases occur naturally in the atmosphere. However, human activity in the period after the Industrial Revolution has significantly increased their levels of concentration.

`

What is the main goal of the Kyoto Protocol?

O Main goal of the Kyoto Protocol is to cut down as many

emitions of green house gases as possible. The general

target that the developed countries have is to reduce their

greenhouse-gas emissions by about 5% below their 1990

levels. The individual targets the Protocol assigns for the

countries vary from 7% for the United, to 8% for the

European. Some countries, on the other hand are allowed

to increase their greenhouse gas emission – such as

Iceland (may have a 10% increase of emissions) or

Portugal (27% increase allowed).

Socio-political context:

O In order to make the „Kyoto Protocol” enter

into force, the „2 times 55” rule had to be

fulfilled. It means, that there had to be

minimum 55 countries ratifying the

Convention, producing at least 55% of global

carbon dioxide emissions.

Commitments made at the signing of the protocol

O The targets for the first commitment period

of the Kyoto Protocol is to cover emissions of

the six main greenhouse gases, like Carbon

dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide

(N2O). All countries which have signed the

protocol need to reduce their emission at

least 5% of 1990 level.

Prospects for the future

O It was signed to stop global warming so:

O melting Polar ice caps

O whether anomalies

O land desertification

O more floods and many, many more.

O So if all this countries reduced level of those gases (at least 5% of 1990 emissions) ther would not be so many climat changes.

Poland’s main achievements O During the period from 1988 to 2005, Poland

reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 32%, mostly due to economical changes after political transformation from central planning to market economy.

O The greenhouse-gas emissions of the energy sector decline year by year, as a result of energy-efficiency policies and measures implemented.

O Coal-to-Gas Conversion Project (1995-2004) - this project has led to the reduction of CO2 emissions by almost 65% in the course of conversion of small coal-fired boilers to gas boilers.

The End

O Thanks for your attention!
