Detailed explanation-1: -Today, the ocean has absorbed about 90 percent of the heat generated by rising emissions. As the excessive heat and energy warms the ocean, the change in temperature leads to unparalleled cascading effects, including ice-melting, sea-level rise, marine heatwaves, and ocean acidification.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main impact of climate change is the increase in sea level. This is because of melting of ice due to increase of global temperature as a result of climatic change.

Detailed explanation-3: -Keep fossil fuels in the ground. Invest in renewable energy. Switch to sustainable transport. Help us keep our homes cosy. Improve farming and encourage vegan diets. Restore nature to absorb more carbon. Protect forests like the Amazon. Protect the oceans. More items

Detailed explanation-4: -Limiting greenhouse gas emissions. Protecting marine and coastal ecosystems. Restoring marine and coastal ecosystems. Improving human adaptation. Strengthening scientific research.
