The "Greenhouse Gases & the Kyoto Protocol" presents data and statistics collected by international institutions. Using the map, any user can now evaluate the current state of emissions, and projections for the future. The data is available both as total emissions, and as emissions per citizen in each country that has signed the Kyoto protocol. It is also possible to zoom in and closer examine a specific part of the world, or to get a graph of the emissions covering a period of 20 years. The presentation in this map provides an easy way to examine the statistics, and also to evaluate the agenda in climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. The website was developed by UNEP/GRID-Arendal in Norway, a United Nations Environment Programme information centre, and the website is also a part of the UNEP.Net environmental network. ------------------------------------------------------------------ For more information, please contact: Hugo Ahlenius, tel. +47-37035713, email [log in to unmask], or Åke Bjørke, tel. +47-37035711, email [log in to unmask] http://maps.grida.no/kyoto Greenhouse Gases & the Kyoto Protocol http://www.grida.no GRID-Arendal web site --- End Forwarded Message ---
