“The danger of global warming is now well and truly evident, so we must hurry to make changes and sacrifices. We have been living too long at the expense of future generations” – Margaret Thatcher. In 1992, during a United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, held in Rio de Janeiro, nations all across the world agreed to officially take action on the issue of climate change. This agreement was called the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (more commonly known as UNFCCC) and was charged with organising an annual conference for all nations to tackle the issue of climate change. Thus, the concept of climate diplomacy was born.
