What is Canadas position in the Kyoto process?
Climate change is a global issue that requires global solutions. We support international action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and Canada will do its part. We will work with other countries to help advance a more effective long-term approach to tackling climate change. Canada is a major player in the United Nations-led climate change negotiations for longer-term reductions well after the end of the first Kyoto Protocol reporting period in 2012. Countries with targets under the Kyoto Protocol accounted for less than 30% of global emissions in 2000. For any future international cooperation on climate change to be effective, all major emitting countries need to do their part to reduce emissions. Our actions at home will be the basis for future international cooperative efforts to address climate change.
