It is true that our earth is getting warmer and warmer. The global warming has become a big problem which is facing to every country. The statistic said that an average global rise in temperature of 1.4°C to 5.8 °C between 1990 and 2100. If this kind of trend keeps going, it will cause some negative effect of earth, such as the melting of the ice cores, enhance of the global sea level and the instinct of creatures. With such background like this, a lot of countries in the world decide to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions to deal with the global warming problem. Therefore, the Kyoto Protocol was drawn up.
The Protocol was actually drawn up in Kyoto, Japan in 1997. It is legally binding international agreement initiated by the UN as an international response to human-induced global climate change. It was aim to arrest and reverse the upward trend in greenhouse emissions that begun during the industrial revolution in the 18th century.
The Kyoto Protocol was targetted at industrialised, More Economically Developed countries, officially referred to as Annex I countries. These include the U.K. and other countries belonging to the European Union, Canada, New Zealand , Russia and Japan, among others. Less Economically Developed countries, including China and India, are referred to non-Annex I countries and are not required to ratify the protocol.
In order to reach the target of assigned amount to reduce more green house gases, there is collaboration between Annex I countries and non-Annex I countries. For instance, Annex I countries and non-Annex I countries can trade for assigned amount. An Annex 1 country, which expects to emit more than it assigned amount, can thus buy the rights to emit green house gas from another Annex 1 country, which was able to reduce their green house gas emissions below its assigned amount

we look friendly
but underneath, we're scary
Basically, we are a group of
aliens down on Earth for a mission,
to see how Earthlings have evolved since the last time
we came down to investigate them.
And to our surprise they're actually united in a way.
Human beings call this GLOBALISATION We live on Earth using our human names so as not not arouse suspicion
