The Kyoto Protocol (Japanese: 京都議定書, Hepburn: Kyōto Giteisho) was an international treaty which extended the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that commits state parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, based on the scientific consensus that global warming is occurring and that human-made CO 2 emissions are ...

[1] In essence, carryover credits represent the volume of emissions a country could have released, but did not.
When the agreement was signed, governments admitted the Paris targets would not limit global warming to 1.5C. Current climate plans still put the world on track for around 2.6C to 2.8C of warming ...
