Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which commits its parties by setting internationally binding emission reduction targets. It has indeed been signed and ratified by over 160 countries, aiming to cut global emissions of greenhouse gases to combat climate change. The protocol does not prohibit all carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, nor has it been ratified by the U.S. with the result of voluntary reductions in industrial emissions.
