Answer:

The Kyoto Protocol is a protocol of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and an international agreement that aims to reduce the emissions of six greenhouse gases that cause global warming.

The protocol was adopted on December 11, 1997 in Kyoto, Japan, but did not enter into force until February 16, 2005. In November 2009, there were 187 states that had ratified it.

The then president of the United States Bill Clinton signed the agreement but the Congress did not ratify it so his accession was only symbolic until 2001 in which the Bush administration withdrew from the protocol, according to his statement, not because he did not share its fundamental idea of reducing emissions, but because he considered that the application of the Protocol was inefficient (the United States, with only 4% of the world's population, consumes about 25% of fossil energy and is the largest emitter of polluting gases of the world).
