As I understand this, it is a slogan, using the infinitives "verzögern" and "verwirklichen" in their secondary meaning as imperatives. So it exhorts as follows:

"No more delay in entry into international ties of climate protection! Actualize [or "Realize" or "Make real and effective"] the Kyoto protocol!" "Verwirklichen" can mean to make real, but remember that the rood is in the verb "wirken" which has no one-word English translation and means "to have an effect on."
