International Initatives on Climate Change: Contributions of United Nations Organisations on Protecting the Nature

Abstract

Nature is an incredible gift to the living beings, especially for the human beings of the planet. The changes created in the nature by human attitudes are more dangerous. Unbridled human desire, coupled with unsustainable development over centuries disturbed the rhythm of the nature. Climate change creates new challenges on different dimensions like health security, water security, human displacement, disaster management, human and climate trafficking and similar areas. United Nations Organisation took a leading role on uniting the countries for protecting the biosphere from degradation. Stockholm Declaration of 1972 was the first global conference on environmental protection, organised by United Nations. The principal objective of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that allows ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change so that food production is not threatened. The slogan ‘Common but Differentiated Responsibility’ portrays the need of cooperation among the nations and the common folk as well as the responsibility of each and every one on protecting the universe for the future generations.
