Find output for greenhouse emissions

According to AFP, on September 27 and 28 in Washington, DC, the Conference of leading economies on energy security and climate change took place.

This is the first conference in a series of conferences with the participation of 16 countries with the most greenhouse gas emissions in the world (accounting for more than 90% of global emissions), besides Portugal (chairman of the Union). Europe) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

The goal of the conference is to outline national measures for reducing emissions, setting out goals for long-term pollution prevention, considering the effectiveness of the use of modern technology, afforestation and financial assistance. It is for developing countries to clean CO ₂ emissions.

This international initiative was launched by President G. Bush in June at the G-8 Summit and was then adopted by 21 APEC members in Sydney, Australia in early September. UNFCCC Secretary Yvo De Boer applauded the United States, the world's largest economy and also the world's most polluting country, becoming increasingly connected with the world in finding solutions to environmental problems.

Mr. De Boer does not think that President Bush's initiative will create an agreement against the Kyoto Protocol, although Europe is concerned that the US will take advantage of this initiative to impose an agenda calling for measures. voluntary and technical, and thus will break the ongoing global process under the UNFCCC framework.
