1997 the constitution of Kyoto protocol and its effects to the international environmental policies

Global warming and a the result of it, global climate change which threats all theworld came on the scene especially together with the industrial revolution. Today theimprovements in the technology has caused serious damages on the atmosphere. Theissue of global climate change has started to be accepted as a serious problem by manystates after the improvements at the industry, increasing competion between the statesand together with the effects of the hazard that greenhouse gasses emissions caused atthe atmosphere. Beacuse of the fact that struggling with the threat at the atmosphere atthe indivudual level is not adequate, this issue of fact obliged the world states to movetogether under the institutional framework.In 1992 UNFCCC was accepted by UN to decrease the greenhouse gassesemissions at the atmosphere and to stabilize them at a certain level after the variousphases. At this point, after the industrial revolution, UN is thought of being as aninternational organization which can ensure the cooperation struggling with globalclimate change and the coordination between the states.At the continuation of the covenant, in 1997, Kyoto Protocol was prepared tominimise the level of the greenhouse gasses. In the study, under these issues, it is tried toevaluate the cooperation enterprises which can be occured against the climete changeand whether Kyoto Protocol can have a connective role.In this context, the study is constituted from three chapters.In the first chapter of the study, it is aimed to draw a conceptual framework ofthe global climate change concept. To this end, some concrete evidence related withglobal climate warming, the causes and sources of global warming and also researchdone about this issue on the international area, govermental and non-govermentalorganizations are tried to evaluate. In addition to these, it is also discussed how globalwarming and greeenhouse gasses come up the agenda of the international society.In the second chapter, it is aimed to draw attention to the constitution of the KyotoProtocol and the international developments which were accured after the KyotoProtocol. The general framework of the Kyoto Protocol, implementation of the Protocol,adopted measures and the policies form the issues of this chapter.In the third chapter, especially moving from Turkey and Japon examples, thestudies of these two countries within the context of climate change and Kyoto Protocolis examined. Furthermore, the national and international studies and cooperationsearches of Turkey andJapon to fight with the climate change are the other topicstouched upon in this chapter. On the other hand, in the process of being a member ofEuropean Union, Kyoto Protocol can be characterize as one of the important subjects forTurkey.In the conclusion part, a general evaluation has been done by considering theinformation carried out from the first three chapters, besides the transformations of theKyoto Protocol to accord with the changing international conditions is underlined.Kyoto protocol had important steps required for the climate changes. But during theprocedure emphasized the process of the steps and the decision taken for being turnedout into performance should be proved to be active. Within this stage the expected fromkyoto protochol are to preserve ıts decisiveness and to be objective in struggling againstclimate changes and to continue on its own way as the centre of coorperation.
