Beyond Kyoto: Toward a Technology Greenhouse Strategy

The international agreement known as the Kyoto Protocol of 1997 was intended to stabilize the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Although politically contentious and yet to enter into force, what it proposes falls far short of what is indeed required to reach that goal. The time has come to reconsider the requirements of future agreements and the potential role that can be played by measures to develop and deploy new technologies to control carbon emissions.  See also: article overview.
