CICERO (Center for International Climate and Environmental Research - Oslo), founded by the Norwegian government in 1990, is an independent research center associated with the University of Oslo. They published a paper yesterday regarding the effectiveness of the Kyoto Protocol.
Conclusion
Ever since the climate issue appeared seriously on the political agenda toward the end of the 1980s, focus has been directed at national emissions targets. We fear that this has been a dead end. In any case, we can now state that the Kyoto Protocol will not result in any noteworthy emissions reductions, and it seems unlikely that we will succeed in negotiating a follow-up agreement from 2013.
The Kyoto Protocol - a step in the wrong direction?
Good read.
