Understanding
Climate Change: (Resources: United Nations & UNFCC)
Over a decade ago, most countries joined an international treaty
-- the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
-- to begin to consider what can be done to reduce global warming
and to cope with whatever temperature increases are inevitable.
Recently, a number of nations have approved an addition to the treaty:
the Kyoto Protocol, which has more powerful (and legally binding)
measures. The UNFCCC secretariat supports all institutions involved
in the climate change process, particularly the COP, the subsidiary
bodies and their Bureau.
Resources
-- for beginners or experts -- introductory and in-depth publications,
the official UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol
