Signatories committed themselves to reduce or limit greenhouse gas emissions in two commitment periods expiring in 2012 and 2020 respectively.
 
 
The Kyoto Protocol - as amended - covers the following seven greenhouse gases:
 
*Carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>).
*Methane (CH<sub>4</sub>)
*Nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O)
*Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
*Perfluorocarbons (PFCs)
*Sulphur hexafluoride (SF<sub>6</sub>)
*Nitrogen trifluoride (N<sub>3</sub>O)
 
 
For the first commitment period, the gases covered were the first six listed above.  Nitrogen trifluoride (N<sub>3</sub>O)  was added for the second commitment period.


More specifically, the paying off or buying back of a debt security by the issuer on or before its stated maturity date.  The redemption can be made at par value or at a premium, as is the custom when exercising a call option.
