Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC)

The Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) is an international treaty established in 1992 to address global climate change. Its main goal is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere to prevent dangerous interference with the climate system. The FCCC encourages countries to develop policies and measures to reduce emissions and supports cooperative efforts, research, and information sharing. Key agreements under the FCCC include the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, which set specific targets for countries to limit their greenhouse gas output, aiming to mitigate the impacts of climate change worldwide.
