What is the chief verdict of the Kyoto Protocol?
The modest targets of the Kyoto Protocol were for most developing countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by around eight per cent by 2012. Some countries are well on their way to achieving these goals, most particularly the United Kingdom which will easily exceed its target. However, we should wait until 2012 for a verdict on the success or otherwise of the Kyoto Protocol.

What is south Africa's government policy on Kyoto protocol?
South Africa is a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol, which sets binding emission reduction targets for developed countries.

South Africa has also been involved in negotiations to shape future international climate agreements post-Kyoto.
Why did Kyoto protocol fail?
This question refers to the signatories of the Kyoto Protocols. The failures of Kyoto were based on disparities of enforcement between industrialized economies such as the United States and the then developing countries, chiefly China and India. Western countries faced a more stringent burden of carbon regulatory emissions in comparison to these developing states. For these reasons and others the United States and other countries could not agree to Kyoto's language.
Does China accept Kyoto protocol?
Yes, China has signed and ratified the Kyoto protocol.
What are the objectives of Kyoto protocol?

That is the connection between climate change and the Kyoto Protocol.
