Abstract
Global warming is not solely a scientific issue but it also extends to various domains including, geopolitics, economics, local politics, sociology and individual lifestyles. The primary driver of global warming is carbon dioxide emissions, primarily resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels. Human activities significantly exacerbate the problem. Among the key international efforts to address global warming is the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty established in Kyoto, Japan, which imposes obligations on industrialised nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the intergovernmental Panel on climate change (IPCC) represents a crucial and effective initiative in combating global warming.
