More recently, a number of nations approved an addition to the treaty: the Kyoto Protocol, which has more powerful (and legally binding) measures. Click here for an educational resource on the Kyoto Protocal.

In December 2009 the UN climate change negotiations in Copenhagen will bring to a conclusion the work from Bali and Poznan to establish commitments to climate change action and policy.
