The United Nations has passed resolutions regarding the threat of global warming. The seriousness of the issue depends on the individual nations. The industrialized nations mostly recognize the issue as a threat and, more or less, are addressing it. The poorer third world nations mostly feel that the problem wasn't caused by them and taking measures similar to what the major nations are doing will hamper their development of industry.
Populations in low-lying areas of Bangladesh and some Pacific Island nations are expected to be forced out of their homes by rising sea levels resulting from global warming. Presumably, rich nations like the United States will provide new homes and assistance for these people.
UNF stands for United Nations Foundation. It is an organization that supports the work of the United Nations and promotes its causes, such as global health, gender equality, and sustainable development.
The name of the global organization is the United Nations (UN). The purpose of the UN is to maintain international peace and security, promote human rights, foster cooperation between nations, and provide a platform for dialogue on global issues.
The main driver is the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The serious one is carbon dioxide and it comes from the burning of fossil fuels, which we have done since the Industrial Revolution.
The industrial nations, until recently, were the primary emitters of greenhouse gas. It was only recently that one developing nation, China, eclipsed the United States in greenhouse gas emissions, though India is working hard to catch up. For the most part (aside from India & China) developing nations are NOT the main cause of global warming.
to halt global warming
The United Nations has a special panel for Climate Change. "Global warming is being caused by the human activities of deforestation and burning fossil fuel."
Yes; see the IGPCC, or the United Nations Inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change.
United Nations Global Compact was created on 2000-07-26.

Insufficiently.
The countries that depends mainly on industrialization for their economy are the main contributors for global warming. From a research, United States has the most global warming.
The UN's (United Nations) World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) has confirmed that 2010 was the warmest year on record, verifying a "significant" long-term trend of global warming. It was fractionally warmer than 2005 and 1998, the next two warmest.
==Global warming is a fact== The World Meteorological Organization, the top authority of the United Nations on climate and weather at a global scale, warns that Global Warming is a menace to the world population and must be taken very seriously. Since beginning of 2007, many regions of the world have experienced record extremes in weather and climate conditions says the WMO. In a separate declaration, the Director-General for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said that weather and climate changes are most likely to undermine food production in the countries in development, with for example India potentially losing up to 18% of its cereal production. Fortunately, many governments have listen and strated to act upon the warnings. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change with membership of at least 120 nations have ratified the Kyoto Protocol, as an essential first step for handling this planetary challenge. The World Meteorological Organization, the United Nations Environment Programme and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as well as many INGOs are educating and helping local authorities in ways to reduce emissions.
Currently, the United Nations serves the purpose of cooperative dealing among nations, who will discuss global issues like world peace.
United Nations
They understand the seriousness of global warming and they want to leave the world a better place for their children and grandchildren.
