Format: Essay Task: Discuss the significance of the original Kyoto protocol, and related important events such as the United Nations Climate Change Conferences held in Montreal (2005), Copenhagen (2009), and Doha (2012), and Paris (2015), in addressing climate change. You may agree or disagree with any of the protocols and approaches, but you need to clearly support your position with sound research and arguments. In your discussion, consider: Whether the suggested solutions are appropriate and fair (e.g., from scientific, political, social and environmental sustainability points of view), and what effects the implementation of each of the mechanisms have/would have nationally and internationally. How environmental sustainability could be improved internationally, without drastically affecting health/safety and economic and social sustainability. Refer to this website for more detail on the UN framework: You may like to consider the reasons and effects of New Zealand's recent decision to pull out of the Kyoto Protocol.
