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?

On one hand, numerous adverse effects of climate change manifest in the ocean, such as ocean acidification, temperature changes, and rising sea levels. b) to protect and preserve the marine environment in relation to climate change impacts, including ocean warming and sea level rise, and ocean acidification?

Thus, ITLOS clarified UNCLOS as a legal basis for obligations to address climate change and its adverse effects, alongside the United Nations climate treaties, i.e. the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ) and the Paris Agreement. This is most pronounced in the references to the Paris Agreement.

Being the predicted outcome of burning fossil fuels, our best and only plan to limit warming is to reduce CO 2 emissions from human activities to ‘net zero’ – where the amount of CO 2 we emit into the atmosphere is equal to the amount we remove from it. C limit of the 2015 Paris Agreement, this needs to happen as soon as possible.

The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. Warmer temperatures will encourage the melting of glaciers, ice fields, summer Arctic sea ice, and permafrost, some of which may be irreversible.

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.
