CLIMATE: UNFCCC, IPCC

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC): The
Convention on Climate Change sets an overall framework for intergovernmental
efforts to tackle the challenge posed by climate change. It recognizes that the
climate system is a shared resource whose stability can be affected by
industrial and other emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

The UNFCCC entered into force on 21 March 1994. Today, it has near-universal
membership. The 195 countries that have ratified the Convention are called
Parties to the Convention. The UNFCCC is a “Rio Convention”, one of three
adopted at the “Rio Earth Summit” in 1992. Its sister Rio Conventions are the UN
Convention on Biological Diversity and the Convention to Combat Desertification.
The three are intrinsically linked. It is in this context that the Joint Liaison
Group was set up to boost cooperation among the three Conventions, with the
ultimate aim of developing synergies in their activities on issues of mutual
concern. It now also incorporates the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): The IPCC is a scientific body.
It reviews and assesses the most recent scientific, technical and socio-economic
information produced worldwide relevant to the understanding of climate change.
It does not conduct any research nor does it monitor climate related data or
parameters. It was established by the United Nations Environment Programme
(UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to provide the world with
a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and
its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts.
