If the water temperature rises somewhat, the risks are greatly reduced

In the other scenario, scientists took the agreements from the Paris climate agreement as their starting point. The average ocean temperature would then have risen by one to two degrees by the year 2100. In that case, the risk to almost all of marine life would be reduced (98.2 percent) or even completely eliminated.

Scientists from countries such as Canada, Germany and the Philippines participated in the research. With the Climate Risk Index, researchers hope to contribute to solutions to conserve marine animals.
