The Kyoto Protocol is a legally binding international agreement to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change‚ which was initially negotiated during the CoP-3 meeting held Kyoto‚ Japan in 1997. The agreement would commit industrialized countries to reduce emissions of six greenhouse gases (excluding 03 and water vapor) by 5% by 2012. Rather than
