UNFCCC full
form is United Nation Framework Convention on climate change. UNFCCC is an international environment treaty
which was adopted on 9th may 1992.
It was opened for signature at Earth summit in Rio De Janeiro from 3rd
to 14th June 1992.
What does the UNFCCC do ?
The UNFCCC is
aimed to set framework for action towards reduction in adverse effect of green
house gases. So UNFCCC sets the control parameters of green house gases i.e.
methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide to meet the climate change challenges.
So the
ultimate objective of UNFCCC is to stabilize green house gases concentration at
a level which would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate
system.
The
headquarter of UNFCCC is located at Bonn, Germany. There are 197 parties in UNFCCC
which have ratified the convention.
The 197
parties includes all United Nation
Member states, United nation general assembly observer state of Palestine, Un
non member state Niue and Cook Island and Supranational union European Unionin The
parties of Unfccc meets annually in conference of the parties (COP) to review the
progress of dealing climate change and make necessary steps to reduce green
house gases.
In 1997 ,
Kyoto protocol was established to legally to obligate developed nations for
reduction of green house gases in the period 2008-2012.
United
Nations climate change conference produced as agreement in 2010 to limit the
future global warming below 2° C (3.6 ° F) relative to
pre industrial level.
In 2015
Paris agreement was adopted with objective to reduce emission from 2020 with
view of global warming to 1.5° C.
UNFCCC has
established national greenhouse gas inventories of green house gas (GHG)
emission and removal for signatory nations.
UNFCCC
induced climate financing for developing nations. In the Climate financing, industrialized
nations agree the convention to support climate change activities in developing
countries with help of providing financial support for action on climate
change.
In present
day , Climate change is major concern all over the world. Uncertain and
irregular climatic cycle become the horrific conditions in many countries.
To address
the climate change challenges , United Climate Change conference COP25 was held
in December 2019 under presidency of the Government of Chile. The conference was
served to build ambition ahead of 2020 with crucial climate action.
Now in upcoming COP26 in 2020,UNFCCC has proposed a new climate law that would set a target of net zero green house gas emission by 2050.
The crucial
climate action includes finance, transparency in climate actions, technology
capacity building, forest and agriculture, ocean etc.
COP26
The UN
Climate change Conference COP26 will be held in Glasgow in November 2020.
The four
priorities have been set for COP26:
1. National climate plans –the NDC- should show that countries are working to implement Paris agreement.
2.
All countries should adopt the strategies to meet Zero emission target by 2050.
All countries should adopt the strategies to meet Zero emission target by 2050.
3. To help communities and nations adapt to climate disruption and build resilience against the future impact , there are need for development of robust package of projects and initiatives.
4. Provision of finance with developed countries to mobilize 100 billion dollar a year by 2020.
