The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, established at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992, aims to address human impacts on the climate system. The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the highest legislative body overseeing the implementation of the Convention. With 198 parties, the COP meets annually if no alternative solution is found. The first COP took place in March 1995 in Berlin, and its secretariat is based in Bonn.
