Kyoto is a miniature of Japan; through centuries of experience and persistence, it has maintained the symbols of the country’s civil and cultural identity. The city has demonstrated a collection of Japan’s noble identity and characteristics through its material and spiritual heritage. Kyoto’s rich history and its position have gathered a collection of religion-based works, artistic innovations,...

Under the background of carbon neutrality, sequestration forest ecosystems is an important way to mitigate climate change. Forest could not only protect environment but also industry for economic development. As international policy that first recognized role sinks on change, question becomes, has Kyoto Protocol promoted development in contracting parties? To explore this, data can be obtained ...

In this paper we formulate a dynamic model of a profit maximization problem for assessing quantitatively how the policy of carbon tax and emissions trading would be effective to achieve the targeted reduction of the Kyoto Protocol. Furthermore, we evaluate the influence of carbon tax and emissions trading on the economy in industry in a long-term view.

Rapid reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is required to mitigate disastrous impacts of climate change. The Kyoto Protocol introduced international emissions trading (IET) to accelerate the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The IET controls CO2 emissions through the allocation of marketable emission permits to sovereign countries. The costs for acquiring additional pe...

In this issue... As the fortunes of the Kyoto Protocol ebb and flow, Canada should focus on a fundamental and enduring objective, which is to implement well-designed policies that lead to a cleaner energy system by fostering long-run technological change without wreaking short-run economic havoc.

A large carbon sink in northern land surfaces inferred from global carbon cycle inversion models led to concerns during Kyoto Protocol negotiations that countries might be able to avoid efforts to reduce fossil fuel emissions by claiming large sinks in their managed forests. The greenhouse gas balance of Canada's managed forest is strongly affected by naturally occurring fire with high interann...

Abstract Global warming and climate change, which are one of the most important agenda items recent years, have become biggest threats to life. Measures need be taken reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause global prove they will benefit from research. The success these measures was achieved through Kyoto Protocol. According this protocol, countries responsible for emissions, should take try...
