The Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in December 1997 at the Third Conference of the Parties held in Kyoto. The Kyoto Protocol requires stronger commitments from parties to achieve quantified emission reductions within a specific timeframe. These commitments cover the six greenhouse gases listed in Annex A of the Kyoto Protocol (Carbon dioxide, Methane, Nitrous oxide, Hydrochlorocarbons, Perfluorocarbons and Sulphur hexafluoride). Athi Water Services Board and the contractor will be required to carry out regular inspection and maintenance of construction equipment in order to reduce the levels of green house gas emissions into the atmosphere, the design of the sewer ponds should ensure that the anaerobic ponds are covered to trap the methane gas which should be cleaned and used appropriately as renewable energy.

The Kyoto Protocol. The UNFCCC, specifically, the first and second COPs paved the way for the negotiation of a precise protocol with requisite commitments, the Kyoto Protocol. Through the eight meetings by the ad hoc group on the Berlin Mandate, which were to discuss and develop the overall framework and precise provisions of the new instrument, a draft text to begin the negotiation process at COP3 was created (Breidenich et al., 1998:319). Following ten days of intense negotiation with this draft text provided by the group, Parties at the third COP at Kyoto, Japan, on December 11, 1997 adopted the Kyoto Protocol (Bodansky, 2001; Boyd, Corbera, & Xxxxxxx, 2008; Breidenich et al., 1998; Xxxxx, 2004; Xxxxx & Yamin, 2001). The Protocol was “hailed as the greatest achievement of modern environmental diplomacy” by some observers (Xxxxx and Yamin 2001: 262). At the heart of this Protocol are differentiated commitments (legally binding targets) by industrialized (Annex 1) countries to decrease their GHG emissions by 5.2 per cent with 1990 as the base year (Xxxxxxx et al., 2010; Xxxxx & Yamin, 2001; Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 2007). This was premised on principles of equity and social justice related to both their disproportionally large historical and current contributions to atmospheric GHG concentrations as well as the fact that the enormous wealth and technological capacity they possess place them in a better position to take on GHG mitigation goals (Xxxxxxxx, 2008). These quantitative emission targets did not include developing countries, in other words, developing countries were not assigned quantifiable emission targets under the protocol; it only slightly builds upon the existing commitments of these countries that existed under the UNFCCC (Xxxxx & Yamin, 2001). This is congruent with the decision in the Berlin Mandate at COP-1 that “no new commitments would be negotiated for developing countries as part of the process” (Breidenich et al 1998:319). Although the divide between developing and developed counties epitomized the principle of common but differentiated responsibility (CBDR), which is at the core of UNFCCC, the sharp divide failed to address significant future mitigation issues by emerging emitters who at the time were still classified as developing countries (Xxxxxxx et al., 2010). This issue partly caused US non-ratification of the protocol and would even come back to bite the regime in COP 15 at Copenhagen (Ibid). The negotiations of the Kyoto Protocol, both among the part...

  • Proposed Policies and Procedures Regarding New Online Content and Functionality By October 31, 2017, the School will submit to OCR for its review and approval proposed policies and procedures (“the Plan for New Content”) to ensure that all new, newly-added, or modified online content and functionality will be accessible to people with disabilities as measured by conformance to the Benchmarks for Measuring Accessibility set forth above, except where doing so would impose a fundamental alteration or undue burden. a) When fundamental alteration or undue burden defenses apply, the Plan for New Content will require the School to provide equally effective alternative access. The Plan for New Content will require the School, in providing equally effective alternate access, to take any actions that do not result in a fundamental alteration or undue financial and administrative burdens, but nevertheless ensure that, to the maximum extent possible, individuals with disabilities receive the same benefits or services as their nondisabled peers. To provide equally effective alternate access, alternates are not required to produce the identical result or level of achievement for persons with and without disabilities, but must afford persons with disabilities equal opportunity to obtain the same result, to gain the same benefit, or to reach the same level of achievement, in the most integrated setting appropriate to the person’s needs. b) The Plan for New Content must include sufficient quality assurance procedures, backed by adequate personnel and financial resources, for full implementation. This provision also applies to the School’s online content and functionality developed by, maintained by, or offered through a third-party vendor or by using open sources. c) Within thirty (30) days of receiving OCR’s approval of the Plan for New Content, the School will officially adopt, and fully implement the amended policies and procedures.
