Under the Kyoto Protocol, Annex I countries, which include developed nations, committed to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 5.2% below 1990 levels during the first commitment period from 2008 to 2012. Specific targets varied by country, with the European Union collectively aiming for a 8% reduction, while the United States had a target of a 7% reduction. Other countries had different percentages based on their individual circumstances and economic considerations. The protocol aimed to address climate change by promoting sustainable practices and reducing overall emissions.
