International Climate Treaty Negotiations
Global warming is a global issue. Strong U.S. action and leadership is critical, but so too are international efforts that work toward reducing emissions worldwide.
To support this effort, UCS regularly sends policy experts, scientists, and climate economists to international climate treaty negotiations, the most prominent of which is the annual Conference of Parties (COP) to the United Nation’s Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC).
