The Need for a Global Approach toClimate Change

Climate change is aglobal problem and acommon concern to

mankind

GHG emissionscontribute to climatechange irrespective

of their origin

All countries will beaffected if no action is

taken

A global agreement is

needed to regulateemissions and helpcountries to adapt

Policy Framework

What is the UNFCCC?

A framework conventionsetting out basicobligations of all Parties to

combat climate change

Currently has 195 Parties,including 194 states and1regional organization

Signed in 1992 in Rio andentered into force in 1994

Article 3.1 stresses theprinciple of equity and

common but differentiatedresponsibilities

Ultimate Objective of the Convention(Article 2)

..To achieve..stabilization of greenhouse gas

concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would

prevent dangerous anthropogenic inter ference w ith the

cl imate sys tem..

.within a time frame sufficient to:

Allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change, Ensure that food production is not threatened, and

Enable economic development to proceed in a

sustainable manner.

Community committed to:

Reduce their emissions by at least 5%below1990 levels in the 2008-2012 period

Ensure their amount of CO2 equivalent emissions

do not exceed assigned amounts

Each Kyoto Protocol Annex B Party had assigned

amount units (AAUs) for the 2008-2012

Module Summary

Since climate change is a global issue, international solutions must

be found.

The main platform where international negotiations on climate

change happen is the UN Framework Convention on ClimateChange (UNFCCC).

The main negotiation issues are climate change adaptation,

mitigation, finance, technology and capacity building.

Under the Kyoto Protocol developed countries committed to reducetheir greenhouse gas emissions between 2008-2012. The Protocol

has been renewed for the period 2012-2020.

The current negotiations are about reaching an agreement that will

go beyond 2020.Additional Ressources
