Scientific consensus supports the 2C target, but the gap between research and policy implementation remains a critical systemic bottleneck.
Cogniosynthesis — Systems-Level Conclusion
The urgency of protecting the Antarctic Peninsula from warming is not just a scientific or environmental issue—it is a systemic failure rooted in historical exploitation, cultural exclusion, and institutional inertia.
By integrating Indigenous knowledge, strengthening global governance, and accelerating equitable transitions, we can address the root causes of climate inaction and build a more resilient future.
