The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan in 1997 and came into force in 2005.

Important Points

It recognized that developed countries are principally responsible for the current high levels of GHG emissions in the atmosphere as a result of more than 150 years of industrial activity.
The detailed rules for the implementation of the Protocol were adopted at COP-7 in Marrakesh, in 2001 and are referred to as the Marrakesh Accords.
Kyoto Protocol Phase-1 (2005-12) gave the target of cutting down emissions by 5%.
Phase- 2 (2013-20) gave the target of reducing emissions by at least 18% by the industrialized countries.
