With this, the international community committed to reducing, at a specific level for each nation, the

emission of six main greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous
oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).
The Kyoto Protocol had a first agreed timeframe to be put into action that ended in 2012, during that
time the treaty suggested a series of approaches that included making use of “sinks” in order to
remove greenhouse gases, or reinforced emissions trading, which would help at placing value to
greenhouse gas emissions (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2019).
