The '''2002 United Nations Climate Change Conference''' took place from 23 October – 1 November 2002, in [[New Delhi]], [[India]]. The conference included the 8th Conference of the Parties (COP8) to the [[United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change]] (UNFCCC). The conference adopted the Delhi Ministerial Declaration<ref>{{cite web | url=http://unfccc.int/cop8/latest/delhidecl_infprop.pdf | title=The Delhi Ministerial Declaration on Climate Change and Sustainable Development | date=28 October 2002 | publisher=UNFCCC.int | accessdate=4 November 2018 }}</ref> that, amongst others, called for efforts by [[developed countries]] to transfer [[technology]] and minimize the impact of [[climate change]] on [[developing countries]]. It is also approved the New Delhi work programme<ref>[http://unfccc.int/files/meetings/cop_16/conference_documents/application/pdf/20101204_cop16_cmp_art6.pdf UNFCCC.int]</ref><ref>[http://www.ciesin.columbia.edu/repository/entri/docs/cop/FCCC_COP13_dec009.pdf Amendment]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.climateanddevelopment.org/ap-net/docs/15th_seminar/unfccc_rws1_050913.pdf |title=Climateanddevelopment.org |access-date=11 February 2013 |archive-date=28 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120328032725/http://www.climateanddevelopment.org/ap-net/docs/15th_seminar/unfccc_rws1_050913.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.naturvardsverket.se/upload/english/06_climate_change/pdf/article_6/workshop_article_6_laurence_pollier_01.ppt#259,11, |title=Naturvardsverket.se |access-date=11 February 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121014194935/http://www.naturvardsverket.se/upload/english/06_climate_change/pdf/article_6/workshop_article_6_laurence_pollier_01.ppt#259,11, |archive-date=14 October 2012 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> on Article 6 of the Convention.<ref>Article 6 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is about education, training and public awareness</ref> The COP8 was marked by [[Russia]]'s hesitation, stating that it needed more time to think it over. The [[Kyoto Protocol]] could enter into force once it was ratified by 55 countries, including countries responsible for 55 per cent of the developed world's 1990 carbon dioxide emissions. With the [[United States]] (36.1 per cent share of developed-world carbon dioxide) and [[Australia]] refusing ratification, Russia's agreement (17% of global emissions in 1990) was required to meet the ratification criteria and therefore Russia could delay the process.<ref>{{cite web <br />
