Diplomats try to establish greenhouse gas emissions‐reduction rules

Ministers and other senior officials will participate in the next follow‐up to the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change when they deliberate on how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at a November 2–13 meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina. “The Kyoto conference on the Climate Change Convention was a high‐profile event because for the first time industrialized countries adopted emission‐reduction targets that are legally binding,” said Michael Zammit Cutajar, executive secretary of the convention. “In Buenos Aires, governments will try to establish the rules of the game for reaching these targets."”
