International Efforts to Tackle Climate Change

Abstract

First scientific evidence of human activity affecting the world’s climate emerged during the World Climate Conference (WCC) held in February 1979 in Geneva. For the first time, a large group of politicians was concerned about human interferences with climate and the environment. As a result of global attention to climate change, the United Nations Environmental Program and the World Meteorological Organization established the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988.
