  4. Main points • Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 5% against the avarange levels of 1990 over the five year period 2008-2012 for the most industrialized Nations]; GHG  • Safeguarding “carbon sinks”as forests, wood, cultivated land etc.; each Nation will elaborate a GHG emissions estimating system and then the united Nations will find a way to face these air pollution. The Nations helping the developing Countries reducing GHG emissions will aquire “emission reduction units”

  5. Ways to reduceGHG emissions : - EMISSION TRADING: control pollution by providing economic incentives; - CLEAN DEVELOPEMENT MECHANISM: indistrialized Countries can invest in reduction GHG emission’s projects for developing countries instead of financing more expensive ones in their own nations. - JOINT IMPLEMENTATION[JI] (art.6) allows a country with an emission reduction or limitation commitment under the Kyoto Protocol (Annex B Party) to earn emission reduction units (ERUs) from an emission-reduction or emission removal project in another Annex B Party, each equivalent to one tonne of CO2, which can be counted towards meeting its Kyoto target.
