The Tribunal acted both boldly and conservatively by interpreting UNCLOS as an independent source of international legally binding obligations to address climate change and ocean acidification. The Tribunal emphasized in this respect, “the global temperature goal of limiting temperature increase to 1.5°C

My research evolved over time, but initially focused on trying to understand how ice sheet collapse—specifically Antarctic ice sheet collapse—could impact climate change around the world through changes in the oceans, sea ice and atmosphere. How did we end up with global average temperature as a metric in the Paris agreement?

From COSIS to ITLOS The ocean and climate are inextricably linked. On one hand, numerous adverse effects of climate change manifest in the ocean, such as ocean acidification, temperature changes, and rising sea levels. On the other hand, the ocean plays an important role in combating climate change.
