Future Options


To ensure a safer living environment for planet Earth, the global human community has reached a consensus to fight climate change. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is the global effort for bringing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under control. The goal is to stabilize the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, thereby, alleviating climate change. The Kyoto Protocol, the first concrete step of this global effort, aims to reduce GHG emissions to 5.2% below 1990 levels by the time period of 2008 to 2010 for industrialized countries and countries with economies in transition (such as Hungary). Further emission reductions must follow in order to reach the goal of climate change alleviation.
