Question

What is the kyoto agreement?

Answer 1

I studied this recently in my Graduate level Political Science course. I found this information and more than you would want to know. I have cited my source below in the source section below.  

The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement made under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Countries that ratify this protocol commit to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases, or engage in emissions trading if they maintain or increase emissions of these gases.

Kyoto is intended to cut global emissions of greenhouse gases.

The objective is the "stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system"

Answer 2

Its a (extremely unrealistic) carbon dioxide emissions agreement made by the world's top developed nations.
