The ultimate objective of this ConventionÉ.is
to achieveÉ
stabilization of the greenhouse gas
concentrations in the
atmosphere at a level that would prevent
dangerous
anthropogenic interference with the climate
system.
Such a level should be achieved with a
time-frame sufficient
to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to
climate change,
to insure that food production is not
threatened, and to
enable economic development to proceed in a
sustainable
manner.
