About this statute

Annex I Parties must adopt and cooperate on climate policies and measures to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, while considering national circumstances and adverse effects. This article says the Protocol uses defined terms from the Convention and sets meanings for several key treaty terms. Annex I Parties must keep greenhouse-gas emissions within assigned amounts, make demonstrable progress by 2005, and submit reporting and carbon-stock data under the article’s timetable. This article sets up a clean development mechanism, lets certain Annex I Parties use certified emission reductions, and gives the Conference of the Parties control over acceptance, guidance, and certification arrangements. Annex I Parties may transfer or acquire emission reduction units under Article 6, subject to approval, additionality, compliance, and domestic-action conditions.
