This is a very good agreement. It is going to be possible for us to do this and grow our economy. It is environmentally sound. It’s a huge first step. And I did not dream when we started that we could get this far. We should be very, very proud of this.

KYOTO PROTOCOL & PARIS AGREEMENT

Kyoto Protocol • November 26th, 2001

In the early hours of 23 July 2001, 178 nations meeting in Bonn, Germany, agreed on the rules of the Kyoto Protocol. The only significant nation left out of the agreement is the United States who, although the country with the largest emissions of greenhouse gases, have continued to refuse to participate in the agreement. That agreement was reached was a triumph for diplomacy, especially for the crucial roles played by the European Union, and an impressive tribute to the statesmanship of the other nations of the world, which, against all predictions, decided that it was indeed time to act on the most critical environmental problem of the 21st century -- to confront global warming and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. As New Zealand delegate Peter Hodgson said, "We have delivered probably the most comprehensive and difficult agreement in human history".
