September 30, 2004 - "I welcome the decision by Russia to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. It represents further acknowledgement of the need to address global climate change – an issue of central concern to developing countries. This decision, once ratified by the Duma, will lead to the Kyoto Protocol coming into force: this represents an important step in implementing actions to address the world’s changing climate. With the Kyoto Protocol in force, the international community will be in a stronger position to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions."
