What is being done World Wide to stop the growth of Greenhouse Gases?


What is being done World Wide to stop the growth of Greenhouse Gases?
Well the United Nations are having convections concerning climate change and the reduction of greenhouse gases. One of these convections which an amendment was passed down known as the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is an amendment to the international treaty on climate change, assigning mandatory emission limitations for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to signatory nations. The objective of this protocol The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement under which industrialized countries will reduce their collective emissions of greenhouse gases by 5.2% compared to the year 1990 but note that, compared to the emissions levels that would be expected by 2010 without the Protocol, this limitation represents a 29% cut. The goal is to lower overall emissions of six greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, HFCs, and PFCs. Participating countries are using ways to preserve energy. That will be our next topic.
