The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international treaty with near-universal membership of 197 Parties, working to address global climate change. As the foundation of the 2015 Paris Agreement and 1997 Kyoto Protocol, its primary goal is to limit the global temperature increase below 2 degrees Celsius, with efforts to further restrict it to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels. The UNFCCC seeks to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, preventing harmful human interference with the climate system. Through these agreements, the organization promotes sustainable development and enables ecosystems to adapt to climate changes.
