Scenarios about 'kyoto protocol'
The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty adopted in 1997 that committed industrialized nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions based on the premise that global warming exists and human-made CO2 emissions have caused it. It established legally binding obligations for developed countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions during the period 2008-2012, while developing nations were encouraged but not required to limit emissions, creating a foundation for future climate change agreements.
