Our Children’s Trust recommends that Honorable Commission “clearly state the scientific standard States and Carbon Majors must meet to protect public trust and fundamental human rights: reduce dangerous levels of atmospheric CO2 to below 350 ppm by 2100 in order to limit the long-term average global temperature increase to less than 1°C above preindustrial temperatures. Adopting less stringent standards, such as those contained within the Paris Agreement, would deny all Filipinos the opportunity to fully vindicate their fundamental rights in the context of climate change, Joint Summary of the Amicus Curiae, supra note 50, p. 55. 7 Our Children’s Trust, Joint Summary of the Amicus Curiae, supra note 50, p. 77. 78 Muttitt, G.
