Abstract

Despite the importance of the marine environment, as a source of food, natural resources, a means of transportation, and a place for the disposal of waste and unwanted materials, it still suffers from some threats that pose a danger to it, and among the main threats that cause damage to the marine environment are threats resulting from the effects of climate change and ocean acidification, as the marine environment is affected by the harmful effects of climate change resulting from the existence of a close correlation between climate change and the phenomenon of ocean acidification, and countries cannot comply The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (1992) and the 2015 Paris Agreement should be read in light of the broader commitments contained in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and one step is to introduce an explicit requirement in the reporting procedures under the Paris Agreement for States to explain the steps they have taken to address ocean acidification.
