Abstract

This study assesses the need for a future climate change protocol with the aim to protect the environment and reduce global warming trends. Such protocol shall provide a framework for developed nations, such as the United States, as well as developing nations, such as China, in order to further improve both their economy and their standards of living. Considering the elaboration of the future emission reduction framework, a comprehensive understanding of the current and future energy consumption portfolios is provided. The United States and China were used as illustrative examples and the existing emission reduction policies as basis. As a result, it was found that there is an urgent need to formulate such protocol.
