The Angolan government has approved the National Strategy for the Implementation of Kyoto Protocol and the United Nations Convention on Climate Changes, said the State Gazette No. 102 issued here on Sunday.
According to the State Gazette, the national strategy aims at establishing the intervention of Angola in legislative, technical and human dominions to contribute to the reduction of green-house gas and technological development of the country.
It also aims at carrying out inventories and reports on greenhouse gas in Angola and its impact on the environment and public health.
Other objectives of the plan include development of technical-professional training in areas linked to climate changes, fomenting international cooperation in this field, encouragement and development of actions that involve transference and use of clean technology.
The strategy is based on principles of protection of climate system for the benefit of the present and future generations in accordance with responsibilities and capacities of the country.
The United Nations Convention on Climate Changes was approved in June 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development.
This tool aims at reducing the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere at a level that avoids dangerous anthropogenetic interference with the climate system.
Kyoto Protocol was approved in 1997 in Kyoto, Japan and came into effect in February 2005.
