TL;DR: The process that has led to an agreement on a Framework Climate Convention, FCCC, represents a complex and interesting example of cooperation between on one hand the world scientific community in the field of environmental sciences, and on the other the countries of the world through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The process that has led to an agreement on a Framework Climate Convention, FCCC, represents a complex and interesting example of cooperation between on one hand the world scientific community in the field of environmental sciences, and on the other the countries of the world through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC. The IPCC was formed in 1988 by the United Nations Environment Programme, UNEP, and the World Meteorological Organization, WMO, to take the lead within the UN-structure in the pursuit of the climate change issue. When the International Negotiating Committee, INC, was formed in 1991, and accordingly negotiations for a Framework Convention on Climate Change began, the scene was somewhat modified. A more clear separation between a fact-finding process such as that of the IPCC and the political process on negotiating agreements on actions became possible.
