The cause of our changing climate is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations that we have released into the air. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is the most important greenhouse gas that we have added to the atmosphere, however, some of it has been absorbed by land and oceans.

The IPCC has introduced a new high-end risk scenario, stating that a global rise “approaching 2 m by 2100 and 5 m by 2150 under a very high greenhouse gas emissions scenario cannot be ruled out due to deep uncertainty in ice sheet processes.”. We would see massive coastal erosion happening all around. meters of rise by 2100.

The ocean has absorbed nearly 33% of all greenhouse gas emissions and around 90% of the excess heat produced through climate change. If you’re not on the water or near the coast, much of this price may go unnoticed until there are disasters like stronger hurricanes, more intense flooding, coastal erosion or harmful algal blooms.

Rivers, drinking water, and farmland in southern Senegal have become too salty, a consequence of coastal erosion and seawater intrusion. Coastal communities in southern Senegal are reckoning with environmental change. In Tunisia, scarce water reserves prompt nightly shutoffs in and around the capital city.

The increased intensity of storm surges coupled with the ineffectiveness of the coral reef barrier is leading to considerable coastal erosion in the Pacific Islands. Coastal erosion is occurring at an alarming rate within the Pacific Islands. Coastal change in the Pacific Islands. 3] Gombos, M., 4] Houghton, J.,

However, its authors leave a glimmer of hope in what could be a nod to governments ahead of COP26, that strong and sustained CO2 emissions reductions, as well as cuts to other planet-warming greenhouse gasses (GHG), would limit climate change. It is clear that keeping global warming to 1.5°C

This is undoubtedly the most significant finding of the judgment as the Court specifies that each Contracting State must undertake measures for the substantial and progressive reduction of their respective greenhouse gas (GHG) emission levels, with a view to reaching net neutrality within, in principle, the next three decades (para.
