After Kyoto
Producer: Tina Cawte Director: Luke Gawin Series Year: 1998
Genre: documentary, educational Region: Japan Duration: 26' Language: English |
Did the world emerge from the Kyoto summit with an agreement that will mark the start of an effective response to climate change caused by the build-up of greenhouse gases? Or was it merely a political fudge designed to appease the US Senate? We get the verdict from leading scientists, politicians and environmental lobbyists. An after-conference gloom seems to be lifting. Some believe that the Kyoto agreement will be the starting point for a period of effective action, others that of its own accord, business and industry will go for clean energy without the 'stick' of government. |
