The first global climate conference happened even earlier, in 1979, followed by another meeting in 1990 that set an agenda for negotiating a global climate treaty. In 1992, the UN General Assembly created the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, an agreement to fight dangerous human interference with the climate system.
At the meetings, countries assess progress in climate action (or lack of it) and negotiate next steps, including how to reduce emissions. Along with closed-door negotiations, summits also include side events ranging from talks on energy to exhibits about the future of food.
