ACCORD SUR LE CHANGEMENT CLIMATIQUE SYSTEME CLIMATIQUE EFFET DE SERRE PROTOCOLE DE KYOTO |
| Résumé : |
FCCC or (Framework Convention on Climate Change)was adopted by 159 nations in 1992 and its principal objective is to stabilize concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. This statment assumes that the governments participating in the UNCCR or (United Nations Climate Change Regime) will cooperate to control the range of human activities that are capable of altering the climate system as well as manage the predicted future consequences of the resulting changes. To understand and evaluate the FCCC and the 1997 Kyoto Protocol as multilateral policy responses, it requires knowledge of these human activities as well as their predictable and measurable consequences.
Climate change represents an unprecedented policy problem for the international community for a number of important reasons. The FCCC and the Kyoto protocol are examples of unique responses to a global problem of concern to the entire international community. These multilateral agreements signal a fundamental relations and now characterize a world of increasing global interdependence.
Principle 21 of the declaration, directed at the existing transboundary pollution issues, held that governments enjoy a sovereign right to exploit their natural resources but that, in so doing, they are responsible for any resulting environmental damage that occurs outside their territory. The global impact of human enterprise is now so great that many of the basic industrial and agricultural activities that support national economies produce, for example greenhouse gas emissions capable of generating consequences on a global scale. The FCCC and the Kyoto protocol are evidence of an important shift from the the regulation of transboundary pollution to global environmental change as the leading environmental issue facing the international community at the end of the twentieh century. |
