The decision to extend the Kyoto Protocol to 2020 was made during a UN climate change conference in Doha on December 8 after tense meetings, despite Russian opposition. The provisions of the decision include the rich countries' commitment to funding the climate change adaptation efforts of poor countries and the goal of signing new anti-climate change agreements before the end of the in 2015, the AP reported.

Analysts have not placed too high expectations on the UN climate change conference in Doha, a two-week event. Many developing countries oppose the decision to extend the Kyoto protocol, saying that the decision will not help mankind prevent global warming.

"This is not the result we expected in the closing session of the conference. Certainly the extension of the Kyoto Protocol will not help prevent the islands from sinking deeper into the sea and suffering from the effects. Other unpredictable consequences of climate change, " said Nauru Foreign Minister, Kieren Keke.

The UN-sponsored climate change negotiations over the past two decades have failed to achieve the goal of reducing carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ) emissions - the culprit that has increased the average temperature on the planet. . The Kyoto Protocol, launched in 1997 to control the emissions of developed countries, is considered the greatest achievement of persistent negotiations. However, the US did not sign the Kyoto Protocol because it did not set limits on emissions for China and other emerging economies.

Kyoto Protocol will expire at the end of this year. Therefore, failure to renew the agreement will be considered a setback for the negotiations. With Russia, New Zealand, Canada and Japan refusing to sign the renewal decision, the Kyoto Protocol will only control 15% of the world's total emissions.
