United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international treaty established in 1992 with the goal of addressing the global issue of climate change. It provides a framework for negotiating and implementing measures to mitigate climate change and adapt to its impacts. The convention emphasizes the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities among nations, recognizing that developed countries should take the lead in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting developing nations in their efforts. The UNFCCC’s most well-known outcome is the Kyoto Protocol, followed by the Paris Agreement, both of which are designed to set targets and guidelines for countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and limit global temperature rise.
