Kyoto Protocol Day

Kyoto Protocol Day is a holiday that is very important for society because it highlights the significance of environmental protection. This day serves as a reminder that each individual can contribute to protecting the environment from external harm.

History

In 1997, in the Japanese city of Kyoto, a protocol was signed that required measures to protect the atmospheric air from pollution. In 2005, the Protocol became an international instrument. Currently, many developed and developing countries are members of the Kyoto Protocol.

The main objective of the international instrument is for all countries to coordinate their efforts to protect atmospheric air and implement necessary measures for this. Each country has its measures, depending on the current state of atmospheric air. Events can be held one-time and regularly.

Interesting facts

According to the provisions of the Kyoto Protocol, participating countries are required to perform the following actions:

• Introduce the use of alternative energy sources that do not pollute the atmosphere;
• Develop models of cars that do not pollute the air with exhaust gases, and promote such transport;
• Conduct educational and informational activities among the population related to the protection of atmospheric air.

At the moment, the problem of air protection is one of the most urgent.

How to celebrate

Celebrating this holiday is simple; it is enough to make your own contribution to the protection of atmospheric air. For example, you can refrain from traveling by car for a day to make the air cleaner in your hometown or city. You can take part in environmental actions, attend online conferences dedicated to discussing the problem of air protection, or read scientific literature on this topic. The Kyoto Protocol is an important document that everyone should know about, as the well-being and health of the population largely depend on the state of atmospheric air.
