The pivotal role of UNFCCC in the international climate policy landscape: a developing country perspective

ABSTRACT The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the principal multilateral forum for addressing climate change. However, the relatively slow pace of progress under the Convention has prompted the proliferation of initiatives and alliances outside it to accelerate global climate action. While these seek to evoke a sense of urgency to stimulate greater climate ambition by countries, their ability and effectiveness in fulfilling these objectives remains unclear and needs an in-depth analysis. The paper sheds light from a developing country perspective on the strengths of an established multilateral regime in driving global climate action that not only operates within a framework of internationally agreed principles and processes but also enjoys wider and inclusive participation of all country Parties. The paper argues that the UNFCCC processes provide unparalleled scope and opportunity for global cooperation on climate change.
