United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international treaty created to address climate change and its impacts. Established in 1992, it aims to stabilize greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere to prevent dangerous effects on the climate. Countries that are parties to the convention meet regularly to negotiate and implement agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, which sets targets for reducing emissions. The UNFCCC emphasizes cooperation among nations to promote sustainable development and protect the environment, acknowledging the need for collective action to tackle the global challenge of climate change.
