The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the focus of the political process to address Climate Change. The UNFCCC secretariat supports the Convention, its Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement by a range of activities, including substantive and organizational support to meetings of the Parties and the implementation of commitments. It is a dynamic organization working in a politically challenging environment to help resolve one of the defining environmental issues of our time.

The Mitigation Division supports Parties in the intergovernmental process on mitigation under the Convention and the Paris Agreement, as well as in the implementation of relevant mitigation-related mandates and decisions. The Director leads the Division's provision of technical, analytical and operational support on nationally determined contributions (NDCs), long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies (LT-LEDS), response measures, Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, sectoral pathways and enabling systems, while ensuring that the Division's work is delivered in a manner that respects the intergovernmental nature of the UNFCCC process.
