Kyoto Protocol (The Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change)
An international environmental treaty that lays out binding obligations to industrialized countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. 190 countries as well as the European Union have agreed to the treaty.
