UN Framework Convention on Climate Change
Definition
- The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an environmental treaty that entered into force on March 21, 1994, and has been updated a number of times since. The UNFCCC itself is a declaration of intent, set up to allow for the creation of specific mandatory emission limits through the adoption of subsequent updates; thus, signing the UNFCCC does not bind the signatory nation to specific actions the way signing and ratifying those updates does.
