UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (Klimarahmenkonvention):

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was signed in 1992 to deal with the impacts of human activities on the global climate system. The agreement came into force on 21 March 1994 and has been ratified by more than 150 countries of the world. It contains no legally binding targets or timetables, but the general interpretation was that developed countries should stabilise their greenhouse gas concentrations at a safe level between 1990 and 2000.

Kyoto-Protokoll

The Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC is a legally binding protocol, under which industrialized countries will reduce their collective emissions of greenhouse gases by 5.2% relative to the levels emitted in 1990. It would enter into force if 55 nations have ratified it, provided that these ratifications include countries that account for at least 55% of total carbon dioxide emissions in 1990.

The "Climate action and renewable energy package"
On 23 January 2008 the European Commission put forward a far-reaching package committing to reduce its overall emissions to at least 20% below 1990 levels by 2020. It has also set itself the target of increasing the share of renewables in energy use to 20% by 2020. The "Climate action and renewable energy package" sets out the contribution expected from each Member State to meeting these targets and proposes a series of measures to help achieve them.
