"In 1994, 191 countries signed up to the UNFCCC agreeing to both consider what could be done to reduce global warming and to cope with whatever temperature increases are inevitable. The Convention notes that Parties should take what ever actions are necessary, i.e. funding, insurance and the transfer of technology, to meet the specific needs and concerns of developing countries who will have to cope with the adverse effects of climate change especially countries with areas prone to natural disasters (article 4: Commitments, paragraph 8)".
