23.2.3. Non-Compliance of Kyoto And Penalties

♤ Like most things in life, failure to comply with the Protocol carries penalties.

♤ If a country does not meet the requirements for measurements and reporting said country looses the privilege of gaining credit through joint implementation projects.

♤ If a country goes above its emissions cap, and does not try to make up the difference through any of the mechanisms available, then said country must make up the difference plus an additional thirty percent during the next period.

♤ The country could also be banned from participating in the ‘cap and trade’ program.
