Question

put it in paragraph form

Answer 1

The main international effort to combat global warming has been The Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

This is an amendment to the international treaty on climate change, assigning mandatory targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to signatory nations.

Countries that ratify this protocol commit to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases, or engage in emissions trading if they maintain or increase emissions of these gases.

The Kyoto Protocol now covers more than 160 countries globally and over 55% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The United States has not ratified (has not agreed to go ahead with) the protocol.

The treaty was negotiated in Kyoto, Japan in December 1997.

The agreement came into force on February 16, 2005 following ratification by Russia on November 18, 2004.

As of December 2006, a total of 169 countries and other governmental entities have ratified the agreement. Notable exceptions include the United States and Australia. Other countries, like India and China, which have ratified the protocol, are not required to reduce carbon emissions under the present agreement despite their relatively large populations.
