question: Provide a summary of the Kyoto Protocol in 8 sentences. Each sentence should contain the word 'carbon' exactly 3 times. End your response with the phrase 'Together for a greener future.'
answer: The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement that aims to reduce carbon emissions and combat carbon-related climate change. Nations that signed the Protocol committed to setting targets for lowering carbon output. Developed countries, viewed as the main carbon polluters, are required to take the lead in reducing carbon emissions. The Protocol introduced carbon trading as a mechanism for countries to buy and sell carbon credits. By doing this, countries with lower carbon emissions can sell their excess carbon capacity to those struggling to meet targets. The Kyoto Protocol also encourages countries to invest in carbon sinks, such as forests, that absorb carbon from the atmosphere. Some criticisms of the Protocol include its limited impact on global carbon emissions and the exclusion of major carbon emitters like the United States. Despite its challenges, the Kyoto Protocol laid the groundwork for future carbon reduction efforts. Together for a greener future.
