Clinton provided strong leadership in the negotiation of the Kyoto Protocol, wherein 160 nations agreed on the basic architecture of an international strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. President Clinton secured $1.1 billion in FY 2000 for research and development of energy efficiency and clean energy technologies, and set a goal of tripling U.S. use of bio-energy and bio-products by 2010. He also won $1.2 billion in the FY 2001 budget for the Climate Change Technology Initiative, the backbone of the national effort to reduce greenhouse gases while creating jobs and saving consumers money.
