United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
Scientific evidence of human interference with the climate first emerged in the international public arena in 1979 at the First World Climate Conference (see timelines). As public awareness of environmental issues continued to increase in the 1980s, governments grew even more concerned about climate issues. In 1988 the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution
43/53, proposed by the Government of Malta, urging: "... protection of global climate for present and future generations of mankind."
