The kyoto protocol - a japanese pact 🍣

  • πŸ“… When? 1997 in Kyoto, Japan.
  • 🌍 Who? 183 countries were on board!
  • 🎯 Goal: Stabilize greenhouse gas emissions at safe levels to dodge major climate change.
  • πŸ“‰ Target: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 5% of 1990 levels by 2012.
  • ⏰ Timeline:
    • Kickoff: 2005
    • Original Expiry: 2012
    • Extended Till: 2015
  • πŸ”„ Upgraded to? The Paris Agreement in 2015.

πŸš€ Fun Fact: Imagine trying to get 183 people to decide on pizza toppings! Now, imagine 183 countries trying to combat climate change!

The paris agreement - a french affair πŸ₯–

  • πŸ“… When? 2015 UN Climate Change Conference in Paris.
  • πŸ‡«πŸ‡· France’s Eco-Credentials: They're quite the greenies! More than 90% of their energy is from clean sources like nuclear power, hydroelectric power, and wind energy.
  • 🌍 Who? 174 countries said "Oui!" to the agreement.
  • 🎯 Goals:
    • Main Aim: Limit global warming to 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels.
    • Bigger Vision: No net anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions between 2050-2100.
    • Extra Challenge: For a 1.5°C limit, we'd need zero net emissions by 2030-50!
  • πŸ“‹ What's different from Kyoto?
    • No country-specific targets 🌍
    • No strict timetable ⏰
    • Ambiguity Alert! Countries should reduce their carbon "as soon as possible".
    • No enforcement gang: No methods to force or penalize countries for non-compliance.

🍟 Fun Fact: Imagine the Kyoto Protocol as a strict parent setting bedtime rules, while the Paris Agreement is the cool aunt saying, "Sleep whenever, just don't be cranky!"
