UNFCCC
The UNFCCC and Its Role in Global Climate Governance:
At the forefront of international efforts to combat climate change, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) plays a vital role in shaping global climate governance. It serves as a cornerstone for collective action and provides a framework that enables nations to collaborate and address the immense challenges posed by climate change.
Central to the UNFCCC's mandate is the facilitation of global cooperation and coordination among nation-states. By bringing countries together, the convention fosters dialogue, negotiations, and the development of policies aimed at mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to the impacts of climate change, and supporting vulnerable communities.
