Increasing natural disasters were not the focus of the 1992 United Nations conference on Environment and Development, also known as the Earth Summit. The conference focused on issues such as biodiversity decline, pollution, destruction of forests, and deterioration of the atmosphere. However, the conference did result in the adoption of the landmark United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which addressed the impacts of climate change and the need for countries to take action to mitigate it.
