In signing the 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change that launched the global negotiations, the parties that agreed to it took pains to differentiate between the wealthy nations that caused the bulk of warming and poorer countries that suffer disproportionately from it. Nearly every summit is also attended by world leaders, giving an important signal that their countries are committed to the UNFCCC goals. The leaders’ presence also helps countries hold one another accountable for past promises.
By requiring decisions by consensus, the process also ensures strong global support for agreed actions, improving the chances these actions will be implemented. Beyond that, negotiators will continue to work on technical agreements that build on work done at previous summits.
