Russia and Ukraine accused of global warming
Scientists from the Stockholm Environment Institute blamed Russia and Ukraine for not complying with the conditions of the Kyoto Protocol. According to a study by experts, this nullified all the efforts of the international community to control greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
The Kyoto Protocol allowed Russia and Ukraine to trade in their quotas on greenhouse gas emissions as part of projects. This was supposed to reduce the amount of industrial emissions due to lower production after the collapse of the USSR and investment in environmentally friendly technologies. In exchange, countries received large sums of money, which most often came in the form of investments.
The information spread by specialists of the Stockholm Environment Institute contains data that Russia and Ukraine insufficiently reduced industrial emissions at their enterprises, and this allegedly did not prevent them from receiving money from their partners in the framework of joint implementation of projects to reduce such emissions.
Thus, Moscow and Kiev did not fulfill their obligations to reduce pollutant emissions, as a result of which the European Union produced an excess amount of carbon dioxide with a total mass of 400 million tons, experts say.
Other countries, in particular Germany and Poland, are noted as the most accurate performers of the commitments undertaken under the Kyoto Protocol.
The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Japan in 1997 under the United Nations Convention on Climate Change. The agreement provides for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by participating countries. It also implied emissions trading. Russia ratified the Kyoto Protocol in 2004. The United States signed the protocol, but never ratified it.
