Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that specifically addresses emission reduction. Adopted in 1997 and entering into force in 2005, it operationalizes the UNFCCC by committing industrialized countries and economies in transition to limit and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in accordance with agreed individual targets [4]. While the Convention only encouraged stabilization, the Protocol introduced legally binding constraints on emissions. In contrast, issues regarding ozone layer depletion and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are governed by the Montreal Protocol [4]. Biodiversity management is the primary focus of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) [4]. Therefore, the Kyoto Protocol's primary mandate is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate global warming [4].
