Provision of Courier Services Nationally and Internationally

Item Description:

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), adopted in 1992, is the basis of the intergovernmental negotiating process to address the global problem of climate change. That process is serviced by the UNFCCC Secretariat (“the secretariat”), which has been located in Bonn, Germany since August 1996. The secretariat supports all institutions involved in the process to combat climate change, particularly the COP, the subsidiary bodies and their Bureau in the implementation of the Convention and its Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement’s central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre- industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the agreement aims to strengthen the ability of countries to deal with the impacts of climate change. In this context, it organizes major conferences at locations around the world, provides web-based services to 197 parties and operates various mandated information systems supporting the Kyoto Protocol mechanisms.
