10. Summary of thesis results:
The thesis studies a typical case - the Kyoto Protocol in the process of international cooperation to cope with climate change. The role of the Kyoto Protocol is undeniable in this process of international cooperation. The birth of this Treaty affirms the trend of cooperation in global issues, including environment and climate change. At the end of the first phase, the participating parties achieved their committed goals; however, the relationship between the parties in this phase can be considered a typical case in international cooperation and leaves many lessons. These are issues that need to be improved in the new phase, such as how to overcome the monitoring mechanism and implement fairness more effectively to encourage the participation of all parties, or the design of support projects to enhance equality in development of the parties. In addition, Phase I of the Kyoto Protocol also made a positive contribution to promoting international cooperation in this field by: demonstrating the effectiveness of scientific and technological exchange and transfer, forming and raising global awareness, and creating the premise (through negotiations) for a deeper cooperation process. The process of negotiating and implementing the Kyoto Protocol has witnessed the formation and division of alliances arising from interests. From there, some predictions can be made about the future of this cooperation process, in which the global cooperation scenario is still more likely to occur than the scenario of cooperation in separate groups. As a developing country, Vietnam needs to continue to proactively and actively participate in initiatives and mobilize other parties to participate.
11. Practical application:
To serve the research on the Kyoto Protocol (and its implementation), and international cooperation in dealing with climate change and the environment in general.
Serve as a preparation for the negotiation content of the next COPs, or conferences of similar nature and themes.
12. Further research directions:

10. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
The discussion discussed one case study in the international cooperation in climate change: The Kyoto Protocol. Undoubtedly, it has played a remarkable role in the cooperation. The protocol has sustained and strengthened the trend of international cooperation in global issues, including environment and climate change. The parties of the protocol finished the first phase with achieving targets; yet, the relations among these parties during the phase could be viewed as a typical happening in international cooperation and served as fruitful lessons. Those issues are requiring improvement in the next phase, such as how to enhance monitoring and implementation mechanisms that will ensure fairness and encourage the participation of all parties, or how to project actions in order to assist equity and sustainable development worldwide. On a separate note, the results from the first phase have contributed to further the cooperation in this field, including affirming the role of exchange in knowledge and technology, fostering the global awareness, and preparing the antecedent (through negotiations) for deeper cooperation. The marriage as well as divorce of parties in various alliances was witnessed through the process of negotiation and implementation of the Kyoto Protocol: The core root was benefits. Several predictions of the future cooperation in the field can be made based on the diagnosization after the first phase. The scenario of unified global signals cooperation is indicated with more positive, in comparison with the scenario of independent group cooperation. Vietnam as a developing country should continue to take initiative in implementation and actively boost the participation of the others.
