The Kyoto Protocol is a legally binding agreement under which industrialized countries will reduce their collective emissions of greenhouse gases..

The Kyoto Protocol is a legally binding agreement under which industrialized countries will reduce their collective emissions of greenhouse gases by 5.2% compared to the year 1990.The goal is to lower overall emissions from six greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, HFCs, and PFCs - calculated as an average over the five-year period of 2008-12.

The Kyoto Protocol sets a specific time period – known as the first commitment period – for Annex I Parties to achieve their emission reduction and limitation commitments..

The Protocol sets binding targets for developed countries, known as
“Annex I Parties”, to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions.It has
established innovative mechanisms to assist these Parties in meeting
their emissions commitments.The Kyoto Protocol sets a specific time period – known as the first
commitment period – for Annex I Parties to achieve their emission
reduction and limitation commitments, commencing in 2008 and
ending in 2012.

Kyoto mechanisms

The Kyoto mechanisms are:

**Emissions trading – known as “the carbon market"
**Clean development mechanism (CDM)
**Joint implementation (JI).

The Kyoto Protocol entered into force on 16 February 2005.

The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on 11 December 1997 and entered into force on 16 February 2005. The detailed rules for the implementation of the Protocol were adopted at COP 7 in Marrakesh in 2001, and are called the “Marrakesh Accords.”

Kyoto Protocol

The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The major feature of the Kyoto Protocol is that it sets binding targets for 37 industrialized countries and the European community for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions .These amount to an average of five per cent against 1990 levels over the five-year period 2008-2012.
