In 1992, diplomats and scientists at the United Nations negotiated the first-ever treaty intended to tackle the scientific phenomenon now known as climate change. This brought the issue to the forefront and led to a series of conferences that would occur almost every year for the next 30 years. Short Wave host Emily Kwong talks to freelance climate reporter, <a href="http://site.danielcharles.us/">Dan Charles</a>, about how those at the conference wrote a clear and ambitious goal that they didn't even fully understand.
