Description of Function Aimed at fighting global warming Goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 5.2% from 1990 levels by 2012 The greenhouse gases include Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, and Sulfurhexaflouride. Allows for several flexible mechanisms such as emissions trading, clean development mechanism, and
