The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement among countries to take steps for reducing global warming. It is a legally binding international treaty that was adopted in Kyoto, Japan in 1997. The main goal of the protocol is to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases, which are responsible for global warming and climate change. The countries that have signed the protocol commit to setting specific emission reduction targets and implementing measures to achieve these targets. The protocol also establishes mechanisms for countries to collaborate and support each other in achieving their emission reduction goals. It is an important international effort to address the issue of climate change and promote sustainability.
