Conclusion

• The Brundtland report (1980’s) (see Universal Declaration of Human Rights) directs us to ensure that we implement sustainable development…The Kyoto articles (1990s) ensured that CO2 would be reduced by specific targets…and now the Green Deal in the UK heralds an aim to reduce 1990 CO2 by 80% by 2050.
