ESD Ideas: Arctic Amplification’s Contribution to Breaches of the Paris Agreement

Alistair Duffey, Robbie Mallett, Peter J. Irvine, Michel Tsamados, and Julienne Stroeve

Abstract. The Arctic is warming at almost four times the global average rate. Here we reframe this amplified Arctic warming in terms of global climate ambition to show that it causes a breach of the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 °C and 2 °C limits 5 and 8 years earlier, respectively. This outsized influence on global climate targets highlights the need for better modelling and monitoring of Arctic change.
