Why do we do it?
The IPCC, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the United Nations body responsible for producing scientific information on this topic, notes that human action is the main cause of global warming. Some of these human actions are: the burning of fossil fuels, increased deforestation and fires, emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere and pollution of water resources, which directly alter the dynamics of the global ecosystem, actions that consequently result in current environmental imbalances, as well as its consequences on human life
A convenção foi finalizada em maio de 1992 e apresentada para assinatura durante a Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento, conhecida como Eco-92, realizada no Rio de Janeiro.
