The Kyoto Protocol

The Kyoto Protocol is a legally binding agreement which industrialized countries have agreed to reduce their collective emissions of six major greehouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, HFCs, and PFCs - calculated as an average over the five-year period of 2008-12. It should be noted that The United States of America has signed to DECLINE this protocol, and stands mostly alone in this perspective. The Kyoto Protocol itself can be found

The Montreal Protocol

The Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer is an international agreement to protect the stratospheric ozone layer. "The Montreal Protocol stipulates that the production and consumption of compounds that deplete ozone in the stratosphere--chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform--are to be phased out by 2000 (2005 for methyl chloroform). Scientific theory and evidence suggest that, once emitted to the atmosphere, these compounds could significantly deplete the stratospheric ozone layer that shields the planet from damaging UV-B radiation."

International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives

ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability is an international association of local governments as well as national and regional local government organizations that have made a commitment to sustainable development.

ICLEI provides technical consulting, training, and information services to build capacity, share knowledge, and support local government in the implementation of sustainable development at the local level. Our basic premise is that locally designed initiatives can provide an effective and cost-efficient way to achieve local, national, and global sustainability objectives.
