The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international treaty established in 1992 with the objective of addressing climate change. Its role is to provide a framework for international cooperation to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere and prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. The UNFCCC sets the stage for negotiations and agreements on climate change, including the annual Conference of the Parties (COP) meetings where countries come together to discuss and make decisions on climate-related issues. It also facilitates the implementation of climate change policies, promotes technology transfer, and provides financial and technical assistance to developing countries to support their efforts in mitigating and adapting to climate change.
