There were 192 parties (Canada withdrew from the Protocol, effective December 2012) to the Kyoto Protocol in 2020.

The Kyoto Protocol sets binding emission reduction targets for 37 industrialised countries and economies in transition and the European Union.
Under the Kyoto Protocol, countries must meet their targets primarily through national measures.
