United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
The first treaty under the United Nations to set a framework for global warming countermeasures. Official name: United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Abbreviated as UNFCCC. More than 150 countries, including Japan, signed the treaty at the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) (Earth Summit) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in June 1992, and it came into force in March 1994. Based on this treaty, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP) has been held annually since 1995. The main purpose of the treaty is to return greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide (CO2 ) , to the 1990 levels by the end of the 1990s, and the contracting parties are obligated to report specific measures and information on emissions to the Conference of the Parties. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted at the 3rd Conference of the Parties (COP3) held in Kyoto in 1997, and the Paris Agreement was adopted at the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) held in Paris, France in 2015.
