Annex I parties or Annex I countries

The Annex I to the Climate Change Convention is composed of parties to the convention and the industrialized countries of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The division between Annex I parties and non-Annex I parties separates the countries according to their responsibility for increasing the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases.

Annex I parties, basically developed countries, have emission limitation or reduction targets since the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol.
