Which year was the Kyoto Protocol negotiated?

  1. 1992

  2. 1997

  3. 2000

  4. 2005

The correct answer is: 1997

The Kyoto Protocol was negotiated in 1997 during the third Conference of the Parties (COP3) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), held in Kyoto, Japan. This international treaty aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and set legally binding targets for developed countries to decrease their emissions. The significance of this year lies in its role as a pivotal moment in global climate negotiations, marking a commitment by industrialized nations to take responsibility for their contributions to climate change. The year is critical as it established a framework for future climate agreements and set the stage for subsequent discussions, including the Paris Agreement. Each of the other years mentioned in the options is relevant to global environmental negotiations but does not coincide with the negotiation of the Kyoto Protocol specifically.
