The primary goal behind the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), adopted in 1992, was to address the global challenge of climate change by stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. The convention aimed to prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system by promoting sustainable development and ensuring that efforts to combat climate change are collaborative and encompass a broad range of stakeholders. It established a framework for future negotiations and set the foundation for subsequent agreements, like the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, focusing on emissions reduction, adaptation, and financial support for developing countries.
