Amicus Curiae Brief presented by ClientEarth 21 November 2016 Majors for human rights violations and impacts resulting from climate change in the Philippines. 53. Notably, a binding international treaty on business and human rights has been proposed and is currently being debated by an intergovernmental working group established by the OHCHR.43 5 International climate change law 5.1 UNFCCC 54. At the outset, it is worth recalling the overall objective of the UNFCCC treaty regime, agreed in 1992, and articulated in Articles 2 of the Convention: "[t]he ultimate objective of this Convention and any related legal instruments that the Conference of the Parties may adopt is to achieve, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Convention, stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. Such a level should be achieved within a time frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change, to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner."
