A scientific study by a professor at the University of Bahrain called for the establishment of an international court for climate, to punish countries that violate climate conservation agreements. The study also called for establishing a specialized international agency for climate protection affiliated with the United Nations.
The professor at the Department of Arabic Language and Islamic Studies, College of Arts, University of Bahrain, Prof. Mahmoud Al-Sayed Dawood, reviewed in a practical paper during his participation in an international conference in Kerala, India, the concept of climate change, and ways to address it.
The conference, which was attended by several university presidents and many scientists, academians and heads of international institutions from more than 40 countries, was titled, “International University Leaders’ Summit for Climate Action 2022″.
The study of Prof. Dawood was titled, “International Legal Efforts to Confront Climate Changes.” The study pointed out that international efforts are divided into two parts. The first is international efforts to confront climate changes before the Paris Agreement (2015), and the second part is the international efforts made globally under the Paris Agreement.
The conference, held on 17-19 October 2022, was organized by the University Center of Sunni Islamic Culture in the Knowledge City, in partnership with the international the League of Islamic Universities.
The scientific paper confirmed there are many steps to take to confront climate change, given that the obligations contained in this protocol were not state binding, and that the protocol is devoid of deterrent punishment for those who violate this protocol. In addition, the protocol did not specify the amount of financial support allocated for poor countries to confront these changes.
The paper called for establishing national institutes to confront climate changes at a global level, with investment in renewable energy for a sustainable future. It stressed the need to review the Paris Agreement, to strengthen the commitments contained therein, and to make them legally binding on the countries.
