Question

what was the purpose of the kyoto protocol?
o to control global warming through limiting emissions in asia
o to improve the environment in the western hemisphere
o to place limits on manufacturing in developing countries
o to reduce the effects of greenhouse gas emissions on global warming

Explanation:

The Kyoto Protocol was an international treaty aimed at combating climate change. It set binding targets for industrialized countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gases contribute to global warming, so reducing their emissions would mitigate the effects of global warming.

• The first option is incorrect as it was not limited to Asia.
• The second option is wrong as it was a global - not just Western Hemisphere - initiative.
• The third option is incorrect as it was mainly focused on developed countries' emissions reduction (with some flexibility for developing countries in the first commitment period).

Answer:

to reduce the effects of greenhouse gas emissions on global warming
