Explanation
The 1997 global conference on climate change was COP3, at which the Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan on 11 December 1997 [1]. That third Conference of the Parties produced the Kyoto Protocol — the world’s first treaty committing industrialized countries to quantified greenhouse‑gas emission reductions — and is commonly referred to as the Kyoto conference of 1997 [2]. Consequently, among the options given, Kyoto is the correct location for the 1997 global warming conference where the Kyoto Protocol was agreed.
