Article 2 - Stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system ... within a time-frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change, to ensure that food production is not threatened, and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner.
During the Kyoto Convention (COP3, 1997), industrialized countries have agreed to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases by, on average, 5.2 percent during the commitment period 2008-2012, relative to 1990.
