The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international treaty established in 1992 to combat climate change by stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that prevents dangerous human interference with the climate system. It serves as the primary UN framework for global negotiations on climate action, overseeing subsidiary agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement. The UNFCCC Secretariat, based in Bonn, Germany, supports the convention's operations, including organizing annual Conferences of the Parties (COPs) to advance consensus on climate strategies.
