The ultimate
objective of this
Convention and any related
legal instruments that the
Conference of the Parties may
adopt is to
achieve, in
accordance with the
relevant provisions of the
Convention, stabilization of
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 within a
time-frame sufficient to allow
ecosystems to adapt naturally to
climate change, to ensure that
food production is not threatened and to enable
economic development to proceed in a
sustainable manner.
