Convention+of+Climate+Change+and+Kyoto+Protocol+of+1997


 * __Convention of Climate Change and Kyoto Protocol of 1997__**

**C)** The United Nations enforces this act/protocol. The major distinction between the Protocol and the Convention is that while the Convention **encouraged** industrialised countries to stabilize GHG emissions, the Protocol **commits** them to do so.
 * A)** The Protocol was initially adopted on December 11, 1997 in Kyoto, Japan and entered into force on February 16, 2005. This is an International agreement.
 * B)** 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. This protocol has to deal with global warming and how to stop greenhouse gas emissions.[[image:http://unfccc.int/files/essential_background/feeling_the_heat/image/jpeg/2879_kyoto_japantimes.jpg align="left" caption="Image"]]
