Available online|The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC,1992) is concerned with global warming and the consequent rise in sea levels that may result in the flooding of coastal areas, and submerging islands, which could adversely affect coastal communities. The treaty aims at reducing emissions of greenhouse gas in order to combat global warming. Although the treaty as originally framed set no mandatory limits on greenhouse gas emissions for individual nations and contained no enforcement provisions; it did include provisions for updates (called "protocols") that would set mandatory emission limits. The principal update is the Kyoto Protocol

Abstract
This NAPA document has 7 sections. This first section gives the background of the NAPA project and Kiribati setting. The second section deals with general environmental stress symptoms that have been noted, in particular the conditions and processes of key sectors demonstrating their" vulnerability to climate change. Section 3 sets out a Framework of Adaptation starting with simple trend analysis of climatic parameters followed by scenarios of climate change and sea level rise. This data forms the rationale for adaptation planning, mainstreaming, and linkages of NAPA with other environmental protection projects.
