Kyoto Protocol (1997, Chaitanya Kanitkar)

 · **Kyoto Protocol is a set of rules for member countries aimed to help fight climate change**.  · Member countries are committed to the reduction of four main greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and sulphur hexafluoride.  · Each country is also required to send an annual report of all greenhouse gas emissions form the country under the protocol.  · One of the greatest problems with the protocol is that the **United States of America has not ratified the treaty**. This is a major problem since the U.S contributes to a major part of the worlds greenhouse emissions.
