THE KYOTO PROTOCOL IN A GLOBAL, EUROPEAN AND ROMANIAN PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the issue of climate change and on the policy designed to solve the climatic disturbances that the world confronts with. The article presents in brief the Kyoto Protocol, describing its innovative flexible mechanisms: the Emission Trading Scheme, the Joint Implementation and the Clean Development Mechanism. A further look is being paid at the implementation process of the Protocol: at the European level, the implementation already began, the European Union being the forefront actor in the climate policy. In Romania, the implementation process is just at the beginning. Having an inside look at the process shows a challenging picture in regard to the implementation and the enforcement of the Protocol.
