UNFCCC's role in assisting countries to implement the Convention and to undertake education,
training and public awareness raising activities makes it an information-intensive secretariat.
The library plays a major role in collecting, processing and disseminating this information, with a
particular emphasis on the process of negotiation, implementation and follow-up to the Convention.
It serves as the archival and distribution unit for all official UNFCCC documents.
In addition, the library responds to the information needs of the secretariat and Parties to the
Convention, as well as other national, international, governmental or non-governmental bodies or
agencies that have been admitted by the Parties as observers in accordance to Article 7, paragraph 6 of the
Convention. .
