The issue of funding for loss and damage was first raised by the Alliance of Small Island States in the early 1990s, when the group proposed that the financial burden of sea level rise in low-lying and small island developing countries be borne by the world’s most industrialized nations. and other major greenhouse gas emitters?

Cities are major sources of greenhouse emissions, globally producing more than 60% of planet-warming gases. Since 2012, 14 South Asian cities have adopted or are collaborating on an Urban Low Emissions Development Strategy (Urban-LEDS). Thane is in a high-rainfall zone and also faces the impacts of sea level rise.

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.

It’s also causing marine heatwaves, storms, sea ice loss and sea level rise. We need to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to head off the most severe impacts of climate change, but we also need to take additional steps to help fisheries adapt. Climate change is making the ocean warmer, more acidic and lower in oxygen.

In other words, rather than just considering the greenhouse gas emissions from individual projects, environmental impact statements are now regularly considering how a proposed project will be affected by anticipated sea level rise, increased storm surges, more intense heat waves, and the like.

in 2012: “In an increasingly carbon- constrained world, our existing environmental laws and regulatory process no longer achieve their underlying goals of long-term ecosystem conservation. We have little time left to create a practical path to achieving an 80% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2050.” sea level rise.
