.::: Capacity Development for Clean Development Mechanism

The UNFCCC sets an overall framework for intergovernmental efforts to tackle the challenge posed by climate change. It recognizes that the climate system is a shared resource whose stability can be affected by industrial and other emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The Convention enjoys near universal membership, with 192 countries having ratified.
Under the Convention, governments:

	gather and share information on greenhouse gas emissions, national policies and best practices
	launch national strategies for addressing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to expected impacts, including the provision of financial and technological support to developing countries
	cooperate in preparing for adaptation to the impacts of climate change

The Republic of Mauritius was among the first countries to sign the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in September 1992.

The Convention entered into force on 21 March 1994.
