Dear Sir,
The course, which we are doing under your guidance, is Global Trade. We are
thoroughly enjoying the course, as your teaching ability is great. As a

Trade. We choose the topic “Kyoto Protocol and its effects in Bangladesh” for our
term paper.

We have decided to make the term paper on the case of Global Trade to get some
extra information’s about the course to make our learning capacity effective and
we would like your approval so that we can work on it.

Sincerely yours,

Objective:

Some 141 countries – who account for about 55% of greenhouse gas emissions-
have ratified the treaty, which pledges to cut these emissions by 5.2% by 2012.
Industrial countries have committed to cut their combined emissions to 5%
below 1990 levels by 2008-2012. Each country that signed the Protocol agreed
to its own specific target.

Kyoto protocol comes into force after two conditions had been fulfilled: It had
been ratified by at least 55 countries. It had been ratified by nations accounting
for at least 55% of emissions from what the treaty calls ‘Annex 1’ countries –
i.e. those given specific targets for reducing emissions. These are the richer
nations of the world.

In this project our main concern is how Kyoto Protocol impact on the
Bangladesh economy.
Methodology:

For our term paper we will collect both primary and secondary data. For
primary data we will sit for group discussion. For secondary data we will
collect data from Internet, Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, Environmental and
Economics books, and journals
