Kyoto Protocol of 1997: International Efforts to Combat Climate Change

The Kyoto Protocol of 1997 is an international conference aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions through mechanisms like Emissions Trading, Clean Development Mechanisms, and Joint Implementation. This treaty, led by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), seeks to slow global warming, lower air pollution, protect the ozone layer, and preserve Earth's habitats. With 187 nations ratifying the agreement (excluding the United States), this protocol plays a crucial role in regulating and enforcing emission reductions globally.
