An expert on sea level dynamics and climate justice within the UN negotiations, Dr. Sadai is working to ensure that her scientific studies get in the hands of decisionmakers who are shaping our world today. How did we end up with global average temperature as a metric in the Paris agreement?

As I show below, their cumulative emissions have continued to rise over the decades even as international efforts to confront climate change have been enacted through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement. I’ve marked these important years with dotted lines in Figure 2.

As an archipelago, Indonesia is at the prey of sea level rise. Jakarta, a city of ten million, is only two feet above sea level. Indonesia’s 2021 climate pledge under the Paris Agreement was to reduce emissions from 2020-2030 by 29%. It gets relatively attention in the United States.

The UN NDC Synthesis Report , which finds that if countries implement their current emission reduction pledges, or nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, global emissions will increase approximately 8.8% above 2010 levels, instead of the sharp downward trajectory we need.

Eight years after the 2015 COP that produced the Paris Agreement , in which the world’s nations agreed to stick to a strict schedule to cut global warming emissions, I’m balancing my hope that humanity can come together to commit to even more ambitious goals.

Cop stands for conference of the parties under the UNFCCC, and the annual meetings have swung between fractious and soporific, interspersed with moments of high drama and the occasional triumph ( the Paris agreement in 2015 ) and disaster (Copenhagen in 2009). Why do we need a Cop – don’t we already have the Paris agreement?

Based on current national GHG emissions commitments for 2030, global temperatures will likely exceed 1.5°C To limit warming to 2°C we must rapidly accelerate climate change mitigation measures and reduce GHG emissions by 27% by 2030 and 63% by 2050. C above pre-industrial levels. F) of warming in the 21st century.
