Substantial Reduction of GHG#5 Emission (10% reduction by 2020, 50% by 2050, 75% by 2100 from 1990 level) Well less than 550ppm (GHG, 475ppm)2 above pre-industrial levels
GermanyAt least 20% reduction of CO2 emission due to fossil fuel by 2020 from 1990 level45-60% reduction of CO2 emission from fossil fuel by 2050 from 1990 level450ppm (CO2)2 above pre-industrial levels

(#3) "Annex I Parties" are "developed countries" that consist of members of OECD (excluding South Korea and Mexico) and geconomies in transitionh. Some of the countries define the reduction target in terms of "developed countries" instead of "Annex I Parties".
(#4) Non- ANNEX I Parties.
(#5)@6 Greenhouse gasses as defined in the Kyoto Protocol: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N20), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).
