The Kyoto Protocol is pushing governments to take action on climate change. However, we need to make deeper emissions cuts by strengthening the Kyoto agreement in its second phase, which begins in 2012.
The second phase of Kyoto was at the centre of discussions in Bali. At the Bali UN Climate Conference, governments had to devise a route map to agreeing deep cuts in global greenhouse emissions. The challenges were to divert the energy juggernaut towards clean energy and to stop felling the world's forests for commodities such as palm oil.
