Abstract
This article seeks to determine the challenges and options associated with a post-Kyoto Protocol regime. Following the introduction, part two of the article sets out its focus, while also providing a brief overview of the material to be covered. Part three investigates the events that led to the landmark Conference of the Parties, in Kyoto in 1997, which successfully negotiated the terms of the Kyoto Protocol. In doing so, it covers the history of global warming, as well as the political changes that led to the formation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Part four covers the details of the Kyoto Protocol, including the terms of the agreement. It analyses the effectiveness and shortcomings of the first commitment period between 2008 and 2012; analyses the events leading up to an adoption of a second commitment period between 2013 and 2020; and finally predicts the likely effectiveness of this second commitment period. Part five covers the challenges and options that a future climate change regime replacing the Kyoto Protocol must overcome, focusing particularly on the distinction between industrialised and developing countries and the fundamental change in attitude required in relation to global warming and climate change. Part six outlines potential climate change replacement regimes that fall into the two main categories of treaty and non-treaty solutions. The article concludes with a recommendation that a combination of nonlegal solutions that envisage the implementation of environmentally friendly policies at local and regional levels be adopted, before progressing to a national and then finally international political sphere. Also discussed is the need for the creation of a global climate change authority that can act as a form of trusteeship over the environment, protecting it for the benefit of future generations.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
