The Kyoto Protocol is a protocol to 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 XV International Conference on Climate Change was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from December 7 to 18, 2009. Called COP 15 ("15th Conference of the Parties"), it was organized by the United Nations Framework Convention on Change Climate (UNFCCC), which organizes annual conferences since 1995 with the goal of civilizing customs and achieving objectives to replace those of the Kyoto Protocol, which ends in 2012.
