UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)

The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international treaty established in 1992 to address the challenges of climate change. It brings together countries to discuss and coordinate efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to climate impacts. The goal is to limit global warming and promote sustainable development. Each year, representatives from countries meet at the Conference of the Parties (COP) to negotiate agreements and assess progress. The UNFCCC has led to important initiatives like the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, which aim to set binding targets for emissions reductions.
