2. Reiterates that man-made greenhouse gases have wide-ranging impacts on the complex dynamics of the marine environment and that marine ecosystems already under pressure from pollution, insufficiently regulated, and illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing are also being affected by warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, changes in salinity and acidification, possible changes in the circulation of ocean currents as well as the spatial distribution of live aquatic organisms (fish, molluscs, crustaceans etc) and their spread along the water column; moreover recalls that scientific models ...[+++] predict further increases in atmospheric temperature and average sea level and that the most effective way to tackle climate change is a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions;

6. Highlights that, in view of the current discussion on climate change and the first publications of the Fourth Assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, all those involved must be aware that action is long overdue and that the Community has just 13 years left to use new technologies in order to prevent a climate catastrophy; notes that, according to the report, specific scenarios concern rising sea levels which will be particularly damaging for coastal countries, heatwaves, floods, storms, forest fires and droughts all over the world; stresses that there is also a potential problem pertaining to climate refu ...[+++]gees and other problems relating to international security resulting from possible disputes over common resources;

‘AWARE of the serious global environmental challenge posed by climate change, and deeply concerned that the most vulnerable populations live in developing countries, in particular in Least Developed Countries and Small Island ACP States, where climate-related phenomena such as sea level rise, coastal erosion, flooding, droughts and desertification are threatening their livelihoods and sustainable development; ’.

A continuation of this trend over the medium to long term would cause the coastline to recede markedly and a wider area of the delta to fall below sea level.
