Abstract:

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) entered into force in 1994 with the objective for ‘stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system'. The Kyoto Protocol (1997) set out to reduce emissions of most long lived greenhouse gases in developed countries to below their 1990 levels. Probably as a result of convenience and simplicity, the chosen metric to compare the climate impact of these greenhouse gases was the 100-year Global Warming Potential (GWP), as calculated by the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change Second Assessment Report (IPCC, 1995).
