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.

The goal for COP1 was therefore set at adoption of legally binding obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It was expected that 15 years down the line, the larger, newly industrializing countries would together be among the largest emitters of greenhouse gas emissions.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was opened for signature at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) conference known as the Earth Summit.
