(iv) Research on, and promotion, development and increased use of, new and renewable forms of energy, of carbon dioxide sequestration technologies and of advanced and innovative environmentally sound technologies;
(v) Progressive reduction or phasing out of market imperfections, fiscal incentives, tax and duty exemptions and subsidies in all greenhouse gas emitting sectors that run counter to the objective of the Convention and application of market instruments;
The American Republicans decided (v) was a good idea. The idea behind (v) was not to subsidize the petroleum companies while they exploited capitalism with the continued use of fossil fuels. The subsidies were suppose to allow for far less use of fossil fuels while phasing them out as much as possible that would guarantee to achieve goals of no more increase than 2 degrees Celsius.
(vi) Encouragement of appropriate reforms in relevant sectors aimed at promoting policies and measures which limit or reduce emissions of greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol;
I think that is obvious in the idea greenhouse gases were suppose to be less and less of any countries emissions.
(vii) Measures to limit and/or reduce emissions of greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol in the transport sector;
The birth of Elon Musk and Tesla.
(viii) Limitation and/or reduction of methane emissions through recovery and use in waste management, as well as in the production, transport and distribution of energy;
(b) Cooperate with other such Parties to enhance the individual and combined effectiveness of their policies and measures adopted under this Article, pursuant to Article 4, paragraph 2(e)(i), of the Convention. To this end, these Parties shall take steps to share their experience and exchange information on such policies and measures, including developing ways of improving their comparability, transparency and effectiveness. The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall, at its first session or as soon as practicable thereafter, consider ways to facilitate such cooperation, taking into account all relevant information.
Citizens were always suppose to be a part of the Kyoto Protocol. The words including developing ways of improving their comparability, transparency and effectiveness is the backbone of the new agreement. Countries are suppose to learn from each other in finding what works, what is benign and what makes things worse. Americans might recognize the concept by a different name of "Quality Improvement."
2. The Parties included in Annex I shall pursue limitation or reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol from aviation and marine bunker fuels, working through the International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Maritime Organization, respectively.
The US military may serve as a leader to these outcomes. It recognizes climate change as a danger to countries. It also has moved to develop fuels that are climate comparable. The USA military is not alone; Boeing has developed it's Dreamline to be more fuel efficient. The Dreamliner was not an overnight wonder, it has taken time to perfect it.
3. The Parties included in Annex I shall strive to implement policies and measures under this Article in such a way as to minimize adverse effects, including the adverse effects of climate change, effects on international trade, and social, environmental and economic impacts on other Parties, especially developing country Parties and in particular those identified in Article 4, paragraphs 8 and 9, of the Convention, taking into account Article 3 of the Convention. The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol may take further action, as appropriate, to promote the implementation of the provisions of this paragraph.
Haven't gotten to all those other sections yet.
4. The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol, if it decides that it would be beneficial to coordinate any of the policies and measures in paragraph 1(a) above, taking into account different national circumstances and potential effects, shall consider ways and means to elaborate the coordination of such policies and measures.
Kyoto was not a trap. It was a protocol that would assess the input of member countries. It was suppose to be successful.
