Guide to climate negotiations terminology
This is a guide to the terminology used in climate negotiations and their outcomes. It is designed as a companion for government and non-government participants in the negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including the negotiators of the Least Developed Countries Group. It offers an in-depth look at the specialised terminology used in climate negotiations, focusing on the key terms and expressions unique to the field of climate law.
Now in its second edition — published nearly a decade after the original — this updated guide builds on the foundation of its predecessor. It introduces new terms, buzzwords and expressions that have emerged since the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015 and incorporates fresh textual examples.
