Subject: A Guide to Kyoto: Climate Change and What it Means to Canadians

In December of 1997, Canada and all of our major trading partners agreed
to make dramatic reductions in the amount of greenhouse gases we all
emit, between now and the end of 2012.  Most observers judge that
meeting this goal will require substantial changes in the way our
economy operates, with a resulting impact on our lifestyles.  Does this
agreement really make sense?  Are there cheaper ways to deal with the
problem of global warming?  Indeed, is  the problem really so bad as to
require this step?   ***A Guide to Kyoto: Climate Change and What it
Means to Canadians***  has just been published by the International
Institute for Sustainable Development to answer these and other
questions.

In 20 pages, the Guide outlines the scientific background to the Kyoto
Protocol, and some of the implications for Canadians.  It discusses the
possible impact on the transportation, industrial and residential
sectors, and looks at what strategies businesses, communities and
governments might consider in response to the challenge of meeting the
reduction goals.  It is a straightforward, non-technical and brief
introduction to an international agreement that may be of critical
importance in Canada's future development.
