IPCC
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a non-governmental organisation that studies climate change. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) created the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988, which continues to this day. The IPCC is a collaborative organisation made up of more than 2,000 climate experts from across the globe. -

1990, The first Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report on Climate Change was published. In its conclusion, the Report affirmed that climate change was a fact and that it was backed up by scientific evidence. -
The Rio Earth Summit
Also known as the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development; resulted in the signing of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) by 154 countries. The goal of the Convention is to stabilise the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. A voluntary agreement between the governments of developed countries was reached in which they agreed to create national plans for lowering greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2000. -
Second IPCC report + First United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
In 1995, The first United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) meeting occurred. Governments realised that voluntary pledges were insufficient, and work began on drafting a protocol that would be adopted at the Third Conference of Parties, which took place in 1997. The IPCC's second assessment finds that the weight of evidence indicates that humans have had a detectable impact on the global climate. -
The Kyoto Protocol was signed in 1997
The Kyoto Protocol was signed by about 160 countries at the third United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change meeting. According to the Protocol, legally enforceable promises to decrease carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gas emissions to 5.2 per cent below 1990 levels by 2012 would be made for the first time. The protocol was signed by the United States, however, it has not been ratified. -
The Third IPCC Report (2001)
It says that human emissions would cause the global mean temperature to rise by 5.8 degrees Celsius by the year 2050 which is very scary and has a huge increase since the last 10-15 years -
The Treaty (Kyoto protocol) is still a non-working treaty
In 2004, In spite of this, the Kyoto Protocol is still ineffectual. In order for the Kyoto Protocol to become effective, it must be ratified (in its entirety) by at least 55 nations. They need to accept the obligations and there must be an adequate number of developed nations that are jointly and severally responsible for according to 1990 emission levels, more than 55% of total emissions were emitted. However, only 37.5 per cent of the world's population lives in developed nations listed. -
The Kyoto Protocol enters into force
In 2005, The Kyoto Protocol, which has been signed by all major industrialised countries with the exception of the United States, comes into force. In Japan, Western Europe, and the United States, regional governments and businesses are stepping up their efforts to reduce emissions. -
Fourth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report
in 2007, It is stated in the fourth IPCC report that significant consequences of global warming have become apparent and that decreasing emissions would be much less expensive than the harm they would do. The Bali Climate Conference, held in December 2007, reached an agreement on a Bali Road Map, with the goal of having a global climate treaty in place by the end of the year. -
2008 was a year of global economic turmoil
A decrease in international willingness to negotiate on carbon emission reductions when national economies contract, yet this contraction results in reduced greenhouse gas emissions from the industry as a consequence of the global economic crisis. -
China has surpassed the United States as the nation with the highest greenhouse gas emissions
China surpassed the United States as the nation with the highest greenhouse gas emissions in 2009. At the United Nations climate conference in Copenhagen, 192 countries participated. -
The 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere had been achieved
In 2013, The 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere had been achieved. The reason for the apparent halt in warming is that the oceans have continued to get warm. -
The IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report issued for global warming is occurring in 2014
The IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report issued the clearest warning yet that global warming is occurring, and that human activities are primarily responsible for it via the combustion of fossil fuels and the increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. -
Lima
The world's governments will have the chance to make one final concerted effort towards a fresh and meaningful universal agreement in 2015 at the twenty-first Conference of the Parties. -
On the 12th of December, the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21) approved the historic Paris Agreement
there were 195 countries committed to fight climate change and unleash actions and investment toward a low-carbon, resilient, and sustainable future. For the first time, the Paris Agreement binds all countries together in a shared cause based on their historical, present, and future responsibility for climate change. -
The Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action was established during the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 22)
One of the most important outcomes of the Marrakech climate summit was the decision to go ahead with the drafting of the rules for the Paris Climate Agreement.

Finance commitments are made as a result of the One Planet Summit
In Paris, world leaders will show how billions of dollars might be diverted away from fossil fuels and towards a low-carbon future. Financial flows are critical to the implementation of national climate action programmes in accordance with the Paris Agreement. -
COP 23 in 2017 - Bula
This year's UN Climate Change Conference will take place from November 6-17 at the World Conference Center in Bonn, Germany.

The IPCC Reaffirms the Importance of the 1.5C Goal
Climate change is becoming more severe, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has issued a special report titled "Global Warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius." The report confirms that the strongest commitment to the Paris Agreement's goals of limiting global warming is required to stave off the worst effects of climate change. These include more frequent and more severe droughts, flooding, and storms. -
Katowice Climate Package is adopted by governments worldwide
Efforts are underway in Poland to establish a comprehensive set of rules for implementing the historic Paris Climate Change Agreement from 2015.
