The effects on developing countries of the Kyoto Protocol and carbon dioxide emissions trading

The trading of rights to emit carbon dioxide has not officially been sanctioned by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, but it is of interest to investigate the consequences, both for industrial (Annex B) and developing countries, of allowing such trades. The authors examine the trading of caps assigned to Annex B countries under the Kyoto Protocol and compare the outcome with a world in which Annex B countries meet with their Kyoto targets without trading. Under the trading scenario the former Soviet Union is the main seller of carbon dioxide permits and Japan, the European Union, and the United States are the main buyers. Permit trading is estimated to reduce the aggregate cost of meeting the Kyoto targets by about 50 percent, compared with no trading. Developing countries, though they do not trade, are nonetheless affected by trading. For example, the price of oil and the demand for other developing country exports are higher with trading than without. The authors also consider what might happen if developing countries were to voluntarily accept caps equal to Business as Usual Emissions and were allowed to sell emission reductions below these caps to Annex B countries. The gains from emissions trading could be big enough to give buyers and sellers incentive to support the system. Indeed, a global market for rights to emit carbon dioxide could reduce the cost of meeting the Kyoto targets by almost 90 percent, if the market were to operate competitively. The division of trading gains, however, may make a competitive outcome unlikely: Under perfect competition, the vast majority of trading gains go to buyers of permits rather than to sellers. Even markets in which the supply of permits is restricted can, however, substantially reduce the cost to Annex B countries of meeting their Kyoto targets, while yielding profits to developing countries that elect to sell permits.Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Markets and Market Access,Montreal Protocol,Climate Change,Environmental Economics&Policies,Carbon Policy and Trading,Energy and Environment,Economic Theory&Research,Montreal Protocol

Untuk mengatasi kekurangan sarana laborato- rium sika dapat digunakan media computer untuk me- nampilkan konsep sika yang abstrak menjadi nyata baik dalam bentuk lm atau animasi. Selain itu adanya kegiatan guru dan kelembagaan mengurangi jumlah tatap muka dalam pembelajaran sika. Dengan demikian dibutuh- kan media pembelajaran sika yang berbasis website agar siswa dapat belajar. Yang menjadi masalah dalam penelitian ini media pem- belajaran computer yang berbasis website yang bagaimana yang akan diciptakan dan yang dapat dimanfaatkan un- tuk meningkatan hasil belajar sika kelas X SMA Negeri 1 Gubug. Untuk mengetahui layak ataupun tidak layak peng- gunaan media pembelajaran sika menggunakan media komputer berbasis website tersebut perlu adanya uji in- strument. Uji kelayakan instrument dalam penelitian ini menggunakan white box dan black box.

Identifikasi Karakter Morfofisiologi Kedelai Adaptif Lahan Masam

Efforts to increase soybean production in acid soil can be done in two ways, were: (1) Calcification to improve the physical and chemical properties of land that is suitable for planting soybeans, or (2) through use of genotypes that have a high tolerance for stress Al (Muhidin,2002). Therefore, adaptive soybean varieties with the sour land 30-35% aluminum saturation and pH 4.5-5.0, and supported by soybean cooking genjah age (75 days) prospectively for soybean development outside Java. Varieties that have been known to land a sour adaptiv like Ratai, Sibayak, Nanti, Tanggamus and Seulawah consistent power adaptations to soil acidity, this is indicated by both agronomic traits and physiology. Anatomical characters show the most stress in response to Al is the root, the varieties sour adaftiv land rooting organ hampered not at all, the roots can develop well. The study concluded that the varieties that have been known to land a sour adaftiv like Ratai, Sibayak, Nanti, Tanggamus and Seulawah have a high consistency of the soil acidity, with roots showing growth and the number of normal pods. Root dry weight parameters can be used to assess the toxicity consideration Aluminum plant, which can be used as character selection in plant breeding process
