The Role of the United Nations in Climate Action
walid mohamed The United Nations plays a central role in the global response to climate change. Through its climate framework, especially the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), it brings countries together to set goals, negotiate agreements, and monitor progress. The UN organizes annual climate conferences, known as COP (Conference of the Parties), where world leaders, scientists, activists, and organizations collaborate to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to climate impacts, and support developing countries with climate finance. The Paris Agreement (adopted in 2015 under UN leadership) is one of the most important outcomes, aiming to limit global warming to below 2°C. Beyond conferences, the UN also supports climate research, promotes renewable energy, and helps countries build resilience through sustainable development programs. In summary, the United Nations acts as a global platform for cooperation, ensuring that climate action is fair, inclusive, and science-based. read more Analysis- Turkey Has 0 Regional Allies... Why?
