Clustering analysis of environmental emissions: A study on Kyoto Protocol's impact on member countries

This paper aims to start the study of the effects of the Kyoto Protocol on the agricultural and forestry sector. The emission levels of Greenhouse gases are greatly changed from a geographical point of view over the years after Kyoto Accord. Except for technical innovation, the design and timing of policy interventions is crucial for reducing innovation barriers and improving production efficiency. The proper use of available databases linked to the identification and application of tools by decision makers for grooming emissions are one of the main drivers for improving the efficient use of resources and global warming reduction. In this paper we propose a first proposal of methodologies to analyse the effects of the Kyoto protocol policies on the agricultural and forestry sector. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
