In 1992 the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change convened and began to consider what countries could do to limit average global temperature increases and how to reduce and manage the impacts of climate change. Since then, all levels of government and various non-government and private organisations have begun to formulate responses to increases in greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere and the resultant increases in global average temperatures.
