About UNFCCC
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the UN process for negotiating an agreement to limit dangerous climate change. It is an international environmental treaty among countries to combat “dangerous human interference with the climate system”.
The Paris Agreement approved in 2015 commits countries to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, with efforts to limit it to 1.5 degrees. Countries under the UNFCCC are required to submit national reports on climate actions, including greenhouse gas inventories and information on mitigation and adaptation measures, facilitating transparency and accountability. As a result of the exponential increase in measurements and documents, the UNFCCC has begun a process to leverage data and AI to enhance climate action efforts. Advanced data analytics and AI technologies help understand climate patterns, project future scenarios, and assess the effectiveness of strategies.
