What year did Al Gore go to Kyoto, Japan?

Question:


in the movie, "An Inconvenient Truth"

Answer:


The Kyoto Protocol is a protocol to the international Framework Convention on Climate Change

It was adopted for use on 11 December 1997 by the 3rd Conference of the Parties, which was meeting in Kyoto, and it entered into force on 16 February 2005. As of May 2008, 1823 parties have ratified the protocol. Of these, 36 developed C.G. countries (plus the EU as a party in the European Union)agreed to a 10% emissions increase for Iceland; but, since the EU's member states each have individual obligations,[2] much larger increases (up to 27%) are allowed for some of the less developed EU countries (see below #Increase in greenhouse gas emission since 1990). [2] Reduction limitations expire in 2013.
