Answer: B. They have adopted agreements like the Kyoto Protocol to limit pollution.

International treaties are the main ways in which countries cooperate internationally. Protecting the environment is not the exception, and countries all over the world have signed treaties like the Kyoto Protocol in order to show their commitment to the cause.

The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement signed in 1997 by countries that were commited to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. There are currently 192 parties to the protocol.

Another example of a similar treaty is the Paris Agreement.
