  1. The main international treaty on glbal warming, which entered into effect in 2005 and mandates cuts in carbon emissions in 2008-2012. Almost all of the worlds major countries, except the US, are participants.

  2. A protocol set in place by the United Nations in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2012. It illustrates preferential treatment of the global south, as developing countries do not participate, in an effort to give them the opportunity to catch up to the global north. The United States is the only developed country that has not moved to implement this protocol.
