International Conventions

United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, 1992.

The Convention is aimed at stabilizing changes in the climate to prevent global warming and a rise in sea level. Change in climate influences the ecology, which in turn also influences what the country cultivates and exports, and hence its balance-of-payments position. The rise in sea level has the risk of either flooding, that can result in substantial loss of national income, or in some cases the total disappearance of islands.
