non-Annex I countries

Non-Annex I countries are nations that are not included in Annex I of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). These countries are typically developing nations that haven't committed to binding greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, unlike Annex I countries which are mainly industrialized. Non-Annex I countries often focus on sustainable development and poverty reduction, and they may receive support and funding from international climate programs to help balance development needs with environmental protection. Their role is crucial for global climate efforts, as they are often more vulnerable to climate impacts and play a key part in international negotiations.
