The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED)
held in Rio in 1992 led to more direct results concerning the climate issue. In
this conference, three major agreements were signed under the title, United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The main
goal of UNFCCC is to balance the anthropogenic factors of the greenhouse
gas emissions within boundaries that will not endanger climate risks. (United
Nations, 1992: 4). The Conference of the Parties (COP) was held as part of this
convention every year (Table 1).
