As indicated in Stavros Dimas' blog, Kyoto turned ten years old yesterday. The Kyoto Protocol is a much celebrated climate change treaty. In his blog post, he discussed the Adaptation Fund for developing countries which I talked about in a previous post. He also discussed a meeting he had with a representative from California in which he recognized promise for U.S. policy on climate change. Discussions were also held with various different non-governmental organizations (NGO's). Dimas' blog offers an interesting perspective since he is strongly involved in climate change talks currently underway in Bali.
The fact that Dimas found promise in the U.S. through California is a positive sign. California, arguably the most environmental state in America, represents that not all Americans are SUV driving, anti-environmentalists. However, with the 10th anniversary of Kyoto, comes a sense of frustration that the U.S. still has not ratified this important environmental legislation.
