It focuses on the institutional framework of the Convention and the actions taken by the Conference of the Parties to the Convention (COP). It touches on some aspects of the Kyoto Protocol but it is first and foremost a handbook to the Convention. The handbook has two parts. Part I describes the institutions, Parties, observers and procedures of the Convention; Part II provides information on the thematic work within the Convention such as mitigating climate change, adapting to it, providing financial resources, developing and transferring technology, building capacity and communicating information about implementation. It also describes the dialogue on further long-term actions agreed in Montreal in December 2005. The handbook aims to serve as a reference for those interested in and working on the issues around climate change. It is designed to provide an easy route to understanding the climate change negotiations under the Convention.
