UN Climate Change is very happy to introduce to you our new COP 23 website just in time for the 2017 UN Climate Change Conference in Bonn. We would like to thank the German Government for their voluntary funding and support for this dynamic site featuring both a newsroom and COP 23 information plus a better calendar of events that pulls in dates from various UN Climate Change databases. The launch is part of a much wider upgrade of the UN Climate Change secretariat´s web presence. Over the coming months, after COP 23, we plan to retire our current website on the UNFCCC process and move to a new, 21st century system with modern features and enhanced user-friendliness. We would like to thank especially the Government of Norway and the European Union for their voluntary support for the wider initiative. We hope you like our new COP 23 site as a teaser for even bigger and better enhancements to come. Visit the new website here:  cop23.unfccc.int Like the old Newsroom, the new UN Climate Change News and COP 23 website is also available in French and Spanish.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  ABOUT THE UNFCCC With 197 Parties, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has near universal membership and is the parent treaty of the 2015 Paris Climate Change Agreement. The main aim of the Paris Agreement is to keep a global average temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius and to drive efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The UNFCCC is also the parent treaty of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The ultimate objective of all agreements under the UNFCCC is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system, in a time frame which allows ecosystems to adapt naturally and enables sustainable development.
