Sealevel rise presents numerous climate justice issues. New research that I led as part of my PhD dissertation, which was just published in Earth’s Future , digs deep into the topic of sealevel rise and climate justice. Climate justice research can help inform these conversations.
An expert on sealevel 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 Parisagreement?
Working Group 3: Mitigation of Climate Change Evaluates pathways for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable development strategies, and the role of finance, technology, and policy in achieving net-zero emissions. Delegates questioned when (or if) the IPCC should develop methodologies for technologies with unclear risks.
This week, the tribunal released its decision , which marks a significant step forward in the fight against climate change, especially for vulnerable small island countries that are disproportionately affected by rising sealevels and ocean acidification. Brings together international climate agreements.

On one hand, numerous adverse effects of climate change manifest in the ocean, such as ocean acidification, temperature changes, and rising sealevels. b) to protect and preserve the marine environment in relation to climate change impacts, including ocean warming and sealevel rise, and ocean acidification?
As the risks of sea-level rise, stronger tropical storms and seawater intrusion grow due to climate change , Indonesia is ramping up efforts to protect mangrove ecosystems across the archipelago as part of both its COVID-19 recovery efforts and climate change commitments. “We Photo credit: Andry Denisah / Alamy.

States’ obligation to prevent, reduce, and control the pollution of the marine environment related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions), where ITLOS developed with greater detail States’ obligations to reduce GHG emissions under UNCLOS, and examined the relationship between UNCLOS and the ParisAgreement.
Representatives from civil society, non-governmental organizations and the private sector gathered alongside governmental representatives to influence decisions and advance contributions toward the goals of the ParisAgreement of 2015. I was joined by Ocean Conservancy colleagues working to advance ocean-climate action.
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 ParisAgreement. This is most pronounced in the references to the ParisAgreement.
Warmer temperatures will encourage the melting of glaciers, ice fields, summer Arctic sea ice, and permafrost, some of which may be irreversible. Sealevels will continue to rise throughout the 21st century, contributing to more frequent and severe coastal flooding in low-lying areas along coasts around the world.
warming limit of the ParisAgreement within reach, the report notes. across G20 countries in 2021, to above pre-pandemic levels. These are the world’s biggest economies, many of them home to the finance and technologies needed to tackle the climate crisis. Despite this, energy-related CO2 emissions rebounded 5.9%
C limit of the 2015 ParisAgreement, this needs to happen as soon as possible. It reminds us that the obstacles to climate action are neither physical nor technological. Sea-level rise for decades after net zero is an example we must plan for, but there may be others that require further analysis.
The UN NDC Synthesis Report , which finds that if countries implement their current emission reduction pledges, or nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the ParisAgreement, global emissions will increase approximately 8.8% above 2010 levels, instead of the sharp downward trajectory we need.
There may also be requirements on what technologies must be used for mitigation such as the use of catalytic converters in cars that used older lead fuel (6). We are already seeing the depletion of the ice caps and rising sealevels. Dilution of salts in our oceans can affect the ecological balance of that ocean.
Danger season, together with ongoing slow-moving disasters like sealevel rise, is pushing people and ecosystems to their limits in many places. It is also a critical part of their commitments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the ParisAgreement.
uncertain costs and losses resulting from damage to property or assets, such as a mortgage portfolio, caused by weather events, sea-level rise, increasing temperatures, etc.) This should include both (a) physical risks (i.e., and (b) transition risks (i.e.,
Cop stands for conference of the parties under the UNFCCC, and the annual meetings have swung between fractious and soporific, interspersed with moments of high drama and the occasional triumph ( the Parisagreement in 2015 ) and disaster (Copenhagen in 2009). Why do we need a Cop – don’t we already have the Parisagreement?
The coal company’s petition presented the question of whether Section 111(d) “grants the EPA authority not only to impose standards based on technology and methods that can be applied at and achieved by that existing source, but also allows the agency to develop industry-wide systems like cap-and-trade regimes.”
