Designed to assist countries in adapting to the adverse effects of climate change. It facilitates the development and deployment of technologies that can help increase resilience to the impacts of climate change.

Registry systems track and record transactions by Parties under the mechanisms.

Formation of IPCC and the IPCC’s first report on global warming (1988)

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is an intergovernmental body of the United Nations. Its job is to advance scientific knowledge about climate change caused by human activities. The World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme established the IPCC in 1988.

Paris Agreements 2015

Paris Accords or the Paris Climate Accords, is an international treaty on climate change. Collectively hold the global average temperature increase to well below 2oC above pre-industrial levels while aiming to limit it to 1.5oC. The goals agreed on were to provide financing to developing countries to mitigate climate change, strengthen resilience and enhance abilities to adapt to climate impacts.

Cancun and Durban Climate Change Conferences (December 11, 2010)

Mitigation:

Establish clear goals and a timely schedule for reducing human-generated greenhouse gas emissions over time to keep the global average temperature rise below two degrees.

Encourage the participation of all countries in reducing these emissions, in accordance with each country's different responsibilities and capabilities to do so.

Review progress made towards two-degree objective, and a review by 2015 on whether the objective needs to be strengthened in future, including the consideration of a 1.5C goal, on the basis of the best scientific knowledge available.

Bali Action Plan (December 2007)

The participating nations acknowledged that evidence for global warming was unequivocal, and that humans must reduce emissions to reduce the risks of "severe climate change impacts". The urgency in addressing climate change was accepted. There was a strong consensus for updated changes for both developed and developing countries. Although there were not specific numbers agreed upon in order to cut emissions, the decision recognized that there was a need for "deep cuts in global emissions" (several countries proposed 100% reductions by 2050) and that "developed country emissions must fall 10-40% by 2020".

Copenhagen Climate Change Conference (2009)

The Copenhagen Summit concluded with only a simple political statement affirming the need to limit the global average temperature increase to no more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels (1750). There was, however, no agreement on how to do this in practical terms.

Rio +20

Rio+20 is a shorter name for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development which is held in Rio de Janeiro, which is in Brazil in June 2012, it was a a historic opportunity to define pathways to a safer, better, cleaner, and greener for the world for all of us.

More up-to-date IPCC Conferences

The IPCC provides regular assessments of the scientific basis of climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation.

The IPCC has provide policymakers with regular scientific assessments on climate change, its implications and potential future risks, as well as to put forward adaptation and mitigation options. Such as The IPCC's most recent guidance, 2019 Refinement to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories was adopted and accepted by IPCC member governments in May 2019.
