The Climate Change Division looks after the issues related to climate change, including the international negotiations and domestic policies and actions. The Division is also responsible for the submission of National Communications (NATCOMs) and the Biennial Update Reports (BURS) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
