      "The international political response to climate change began with the 1992 adoption of the UNFCCC, which sets out a legal framework for stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to avoid \u201cdangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.\u201d The Convention, which entered into force on 21 March 1994, has 196 parties.",
      "In December 1997, delegates to the third session of the Conference of the Parties (COP) in Kyoto, Japan, agreed to a protocol to the UNFCCC that committed industrialized countries and countries in transition to a market economy to achieve emissions reduction targets.",
      "These countries, known as Annex I parties under the UNFCCC, agreed to reduce their overall emissions of six GHGs by an average of 5% below 1990 levels in 2008-2012 (the first commitment period), with specific targets varying from country to country.",
      "The Kyoto Protocol entered into force on 16 February 2005 and now has 192 parties."
