What is the short-term goal established by Kyoto Protocol?

The short-term goal of the Kyoto Protocol, established in 1997 and effective from 2005, was to commit industrialized countries and economies in transition to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, it aimed for an overall reduction of emissions by an average of 5.2% below 1990 levels during the first commitment period from 2008 to 2012. This agreement sought to combat climate change by encouraging sustainable practices and promoting the use of renewable energy sources.
