How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Currently, the international community is facing one of the largest en-vironmental threats as climate change. In this article, we will analyze international legal documents, decisions of the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Con-vention on Climate Change (hereinafter referred to as the UNFCCC), reports of inter-national organizations and scientific literature in the field of combating climate change. We will analyze which branches of international law, besides international environmental law, have been affected by the fight against climate change. In addi-tion, issues such as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), climate change mitigation technologies, «climate» justice, human rights and climate change, climate refugees, «climatization» of law will be touched upon, climate change in the context of sustainable development and achievement of SDG 13. Particular emphasis will be placed on the impact of renewable energy sources as one of the effective means of combating climate change. In conclusion, we came to the conclusion that despite the wide range of measures taken to adapt and mitigate the effects of climate change, un-til the transition to a green economy and carbon neutrality is completed, and states will not strive in good faith to fulfill their international legal obligations on climate change, we will not be able to talk about achieving the global climate goal until 2100.
