The UN Climate Change Conference, known as COP21/CMP11, will be held in Paris from 30 November-11 December. There, the global community will seek long-term solutions to limit the global temperature to less than 2 degrees Celsius.
UN and Climate Change
In 1988, the General Assembly passed resolution 43/53, declaring climate change “a common concern of mankind” and establishing the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was adopted at the “Rio Earth Summit” in 1992. The UNFCCC is the primary international, intergovernmental forum for negotiating the global response to climate change.
The UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has Climate Action: "Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts” as Sustainable Development Goal 13.
