The scientific evidence shows that climate change caused by global warming, mainly from human behavior, such as industrial production process, the emission of greenhouse gases. The United Nations adopted “United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change” to restrain the members, and passed “Kyoto-Protocol” to force the State party to put forward a specific timetable for the reduction of carbon. The United States refused to sign and insisted that developing countries should bear the obligations.
The research scope of this study was from the late 18th century industrial emissions of greenhouse gases, evidence of global warming in 1900, all the way to the development of the “Kyoto-Protocol” in 1997. Under the norms of environmental issues and international environment laws, the study explored the binding force of international environment and “Kyoto-Protocol” to the countries. The study wanted to know the public policy planning and public administration development of nations under globalization and global governance theory, and summarize the environmental protection policies and impact of Kyoto-Protocol on Taiwan’s environmental protection policies.
The study further found that the Kyoto-Protocol had hoped to have a binding force to the State party, but still unable to effectively regulate, so the international environmental law should be room for improvement in the future. Then, the rapid increase in carbon dioxide emissions is the result of economic development in the nearly three decades. Taiwan is a newly industrialized country, it should be different from the advanced industrialized countries to avoid disrupting the economic development of our country. Other issues such as energy, 80 percent in emerging countries not included in greenhouse gas reduction are worth further exploring.
