United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)


The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was signed in 1992 and has since been ratified by 193 countries.

These countries have agreed to work together to stabilize concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous human-induced interference in the global climate system. The UNFCCC and subsequent decisions regarding its interpretation and implementation represent one of the most complex multilateral agreements ever negotiated.
