United Nation Framework Convention
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
The new alarming developments in climate are currently among the most concerning issues of the 21st century. The Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, was the catalyst for a massive movement for the protection of the Earth and its climate. Following this summit, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was issued. This convention aims at reducing emissions of greenhouse gas to a level that preserves the climate and prevents the phenomenon of global warming.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is a legally non-binding treaty. The protocols that it provides have as well no obligation for the signatory states. The prominent one, the Tokyo Protocol, entered into force in February 2005. It sets forth greenhouse gas emissions limits for both developed and developing countries.
The International Conference on the Role of NGOs in Global Governance will discuss the outcome of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and will debate on the role of NGOs in optimizing and solidifying this treaty. With the presence of Mr Brahimi Lakhdar, the UN former Special Adviser to the Secretary-General, and Mr Pascal Boniface, Director of the Institute for International and Strategic Relations, the debate will focus as well on the growing influence of NGOs in global governance.
