The Kyoto Protocol

International Climate Policy for the 21st Century

  • Publications 01.02.2000

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the history and content of the Kyoto Protocol itself as well as of the economic, political and legal implications of its implementation. It also presents a perspective for the further development of the climate regime.

 

The adoption of the Kyoto Protocol in December 1997 was a major achievement in the endeavour to tackle the problem of global climate change at the dawn of the 21st century. After many years of involvement in the negotiation process, the book's two internationally recognised authors now offer the international community a first hand and inside perspective of the debate on the Kyoto Protocol. The book provides a comprehensive scholarly analysis of the history and content of the Protocol itself as well as of the economic, political and legal implications of its implementation. It also presents a perspective for the further development of the climate regime. These important features make this book an indispensable working tool for policy makers, negotiators, academics and all those actively involved and interested in climate change issues in both the developed and developing world.
