The Arctic and Southern Oceans are under serious threat from warming, acidification, freshening, and ice loss. These changes are already visible today and have growing impacts on food webs, ecosystems, fisheries, and global weather patterns. This session draws attention to the societal and political impacts of fossil fuel emissions, emphasizing the importance of 1.5°C.
