Resumo

The chapter presents a brief history of the Convention on Climate Change. In 1988, the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) established the 
 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), aiming at evaluating, on a scientific perspective, knowledge on climate change, assessing possible socio-economic and environmental impacts, and formulating realistic strategies to address the causes and consequences of increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the global climate system. This was one of the most important steps in the recognition of this phenomenon. The chapter also describes the objective, the commitment and the principles of the Convention on Climate Change. The climate change policy that led to the Kyoto Protocol was conditioned by decisions made within the framework of the Convention on Climate Change itself and in the so-called Berlin Mandate – resolution of the first conference in Berlin of countries that ratified the Convention, which launched the negotiation of the Kyoto Protocol. The article describes Brazil's proposal and Brazil's participation in the adoption of the mechanisms proposed by the Kyoto Protocol.
