The goal of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change aims is
to stabilize the amount of anthropogenic greenhouse gases
at a level that will not threaten the climate. Latvia has also
signed and ratified this Convention, promising to stabilize
greenhouse gas emissions by 2000 to the level emitted in 1990.
As an addition to the Convention, the Kyoto Protocol was
accepted in 1997, which aims to decrease the amount of emitted CO2
by 8% between 2008 and 2012, using the emission in 1990 as a
baseline.
