In the Kyoto Protocol, what target was fixed for the reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) concentrations below 1990 levels during the first commitment period (2008-2012) by state parties?

Correct option is B

Under the Kyoto Protocol, the target set for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions was an average of 5.2% below the 1990 levels for the first commitment period, which lasted from 2008 to 2012. This commitment aimed to combat climate change by having industrialized countries (Annex I parties) collectively reduce their emissions of six key greenhouse gases.
Information Booster:
· The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in 1997 and entered into force in 2005. It was the first international treaty to set binding GHG reduction targets.
· The 5.2% reduction target was an aggregate goal, with different countries having individual targets to reach the overall reduction. Some countries agreed to more significant reductions, while others were allowed increases based on specific circumstances.
