Greenhouse Justice: Moving Beyond Kyoto (original) (raw)

Current international climate negotiations highlight a divergence between governmental proposals and civil society's demands for ecological justice. While the Kyoto Protocol sets specific binding targets for greenhouse gas emissions among developed and transitional countries, it raises concerns over efficacy and equity, particularly regarding the absence of major emitters like the U.S. The paper argues that the market-based strategies of the Kyoto Protocol may perpetuate climate injustice, advocating instead for clearer commitments to reduce emissions and uphold ecological principles.
