Sea Level Rise is Already Threatening Communities

Union of Concerned Scientists

In an era when massive heat domes blanket large swaths of continents for days, wildfires burn through areas the size of small countries, and hurricanes regularly push the limits of what we once thought possible, sea level rise can seem like extreme weather’s low-key cousin. Since 1993, sea level has risen by an average rate of 3.1

Evaluation of GCM simulations with a regional focus.

Real Climate

I use GCMs to provide information about large-scale conditions, processes and phenomena in the atmosphere that I can use as predictors in downscaling future climate projections. The benchmark for the evaluation was the recent ERA5 reanalysis , which probably is the best data for describing the historical state of Earth’s atmosphere.

Navigating the Intersection of Climate Change and the Law of the Sea: Exploring the ITLOS Advisory Opinion’s Substantive Content

Law Columbia

Additionally, ITLOS can also apply rules of reference , referred to as “generally recognized international rules and standards” or “global rules and standards,” which exist in other sources of law incorporated into UNCLOS by reference ( see, e.g., Articles 207-2012 UNCLOS ). These rules are, in effect, binding norms incorporated into UNCLOS.

Loss and Damage

Legal Planet

Even before adoption of the 1992 Framework Convention, the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) had proposed an “International Insurance Pool” to pay vulnerable countries based on observed sea level rise. The first explicit use of the term L&D was in the 2007 Bali Action Plan , in a section on enhanced action for adaptation.

It’s also causing marine heatwaves, storms, sea ice loss and sea level rise. Northern shrimp, found in the northeast, are highly vulnerable to climate change, according to a climate vulnerability assessment done by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
