The Role of Technology in the United Nations Convention on Climate Change

Climate change is one of the main crises in contemporary world, which is the consequence of uncontrolled emission of greenhouse gases. therefore, countering of climate change is considered a significant issue of international relations and international law. the first article of united nations framework convention on climate change defines the climate change as “a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods.” the global community has tried to find an efficient solution to mitigate greenhouse gases emission through un framework convention on climate change and its related treaties i.e. kyoto protocol and paris agreement. the research seeks to prove this hypothesis that an effective countering of climate change would only be possible through modern technology by the whole world and hence, technology have essential role in implementation of un convention on climate change, through a descriptive analysis methodology based on the international legal documents. the following research has endeavored to address the legal role of technology in the convention and study the position of technology in implementation of it, which can be recognized as a new knowledge.
