Commons - the Framework Convention vs. the Kyoto Protocol By kendra on Climate A press release at the closure of COP-10 - explains that while the aim of the Framework Convention on Climate Change is to protect humanity from 'dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system', the policies it pursues to do so must be done in a manner that is cost effective. It is clear that the Kyoto Protocol is not a cost-effective policy to address climate change -- it will harm everyone (not just the wealthy) yet provides a negligible effect on the earth's climate. Such policies would make humanity even more vulnerable to problems which do result in the future - whether they are caused by climate change, or some other unforseen cause.
