What is the Kyoto Protocol?

The kyoto Protocol is an international agreement aimed at fighting global warming. The countries that have signed the protocol have committed themselves to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases step by step, and thus prevent air pollution and global warming. The name of the contract comes from the Japanese city of Kyoto, where this agreement was signed in 1997. Most of the countries of the world have signed the protocol, but many of them have not yet implemented it wholeheartedly as they fear that it would adversely affect their economy.
