The terms of the Kyoto Protocol necessitated ratification by 55 Parties to the Convention, including Annex I Parties accounting for 55 percent of that group's carbon dioxide emissions in 1990, before it could enter into force. This occurred on February 16th, 2005, with ratification of 152 Parties, totaling an Annex I emission percentage of 61.6 percent.
