UNFCCC

The UNFCCC, or United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, is an international treaty established in 1992 to address global climate change. It brings countries together to work on reducing greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the planet. The goal is to prevent dangerous climate impacts by promoting sustainable development, sharing knowledge, and supporting efforts to cut emissions. Key agreements like the Paris Agreement, adopted under the UNFCCC, encourage countries to set targets for reducing their own emissions and to collaborate on solutions, fostering global cooperation to protect the environment for current and future generations.
