The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty, which extends the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that commits State Parties to reduce greenhouse gases emissions, based on the premise that (a) global warming exists and (b) man-made CO2 emissions have caused it. It aims to fight global warming by reducing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. The treaty was negotiated in December 1997 at the city of Kyoto, Japan and came into force on February 16, 2005.
