The implementation of the EU SDS “Sustainable Development Strategy” enforces its regulation towards “Climate Change” with one very important tool which is the “Kyoto Protocol”. “Kyoto Protocol” entered into force on the 16th of February, 2005 in Rome, with an aim to combat Global Warming. The entry into force of the protocol and its provisions today will not only oblige industrialized countries to reduce their emission of greenhouse gases, but also enhance EU SDS in developing countries.
The “Kyoto Protocol” provides mechanisms that will encourage investment in climate-friendly projects, which will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and at the same time promote the EU SDS in developing countries. However, in order for the EU SDS to take its effect, several different policies have been developed. Developed countries will pay for carbon emission offsets, which will help finance adaptation activities to assist highly-vulnerable developing countries to cope with the challenges of climate change. The FAO “Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations” will support vulnerable countries in identifying and formulating projects that will enable them to receive such investments.
Measures include the use of bioenergy, reforestation, and the adoption of improved agricultural practices that help reduce emissions from agriculture while increasing production. With more investment in increasing bioenergy generation and use, carbon emissions could be reduced by 5 to 25 percent of the projected fossil fuel emissions for the year 2050, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Under the Kyoto Protocol, FAO aims to identify, develop and promote these practices so that developing countries may gain additional income from selling carbon credits, while improving the livelihoods of farmers through enhanced soil fertility and higher crop production.
