International climate architecture

UNA-UK encourages the development of a robust multilateral framework to address climate change and promote sustainable development, including a binding treaty on carbon emissions and associated mechanisms. In the lead-up to key meetings such as UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) conferences and the ‘Rio+20’ summit, we undertake advocacy and public information work on issues such as population growth and urban planning, a ‘green economy’ and funding for adaptation and mitigation. We also continue to lobby the UK government to do all it can to drive forward UNFCCC negotiations and global sustainable development initiatives.
