UNFCCC is the international treaty joined by nations beginning in 1992, to work cooperatively on the needs to limit global temperature warming and the effects of climate change on the planet. The framework convention created negotiations to meet the needs of emission reductions for the world, legally binding the countries that signed the Kyoto Protocol to reduce emissions through stated targets. There 195 parties currently to the Convention and 192 participate in the Kyoto Protocol. Negotiations continue to help discover ways to reduce the effects of climate change as much as possible in all countries.
The IPPC is the leading body, internationally, charged with assessing the current state of climate change and providing the supporting scientific views of knowledge.
