23. 2-goal
Manageable to adjust to
Maximum 450 ppm CO2-equivalents
25-40 % reduction before 2020
24. Uncertainty?
Uncertainty about future climate changes
The UN Panel on Climate Change:
It is very likely (more than 90% certain), that the majority of the global warming since 1950 is due to manmade greenhouse gasses.

29. The Kyoto agreement in1997
184 countries signed it
Rich countries will make the greatest reductions in emission;
shared, but differentiated responsibility
