Research conducted by OU academics has highlighted the fact that sensitive regions of the world are at risk from the dangerous and potentially irreversible effects of climate change, even if targets set in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement are met.
The research, which was published in Nature Climate Change, was led by Lecturer in Earth Systems Science at The Open University, Dr Philip Holden.
