The phrase dangers posing by is incorrect. The correct form is 'dangers posed by', as the passive form is needed to indicate that the dangers are being caused by rising temperatures and sea levels. The correct sentence will be: "Representatives from nations like Grenada and Tuvalu emphasised the immediate dangers posed by rising temperatures and sea levels."
