As of November 2009, 187 states have signed and ratified the protocol. The purpose of this research is to discover the inadequacy of the current legislations pertaining to global warming issue as compared to the standard of the international conventions. Therefore, suggestion would be made in proposing a viable legislative reform targeting on greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Our research is based on a qualitative research manner and methods.
