United Nations Framework Convention On Climate Change
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international treaty aimed at addressing climate change and its impacts. Established in 1992, it provides a framework for countries to work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change. The convention sets out principles for cooperation, including the need for developed nations to support developing countries in their climate efforts.
The UNFCCC hosts annual conferences known as COP (Conference of the Parties), where nations negotiate agreements and commitments to combat climate change. One significant outcome of these meetings is the Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, which aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius.
