CELA Transnational Strategy

Recent publications reaffirm and warn of impending risk that is causing climate change as a result of accelerated rates of greenhouse gas emissions. Among them are the concerns of the Security Council of United Nations to “the possibility of adverse effects of climate change could aggravate certain long-term threats to peace and international security.“ Also an international team of researchers from Stockholm University, in collaboration with various institutions have suggested that the carbon released from thawing Arctic is ten times greater than we thought so far and may reach 44 million tons per year. While NOAA Laboratory, Muna Observatory in Loa Hawaii, announced that CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere increased from 379.76 ppm in 2005 to 389.78 ppm in 2010. In this context, the World Bank has commissioned a study called “Turn Down the Heat: Why a 4 °C Warmer World Must be Avoided“ which summarizes the main consequences of the current trends in greenhouse gas emissions worldwide and its devastating effects across the geography of the Planet.
