High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy

For decades, the ocean has acted as Earth's "buffer" against the negative effects of #ClimateChange, but this has taken its toll on the ocean’s health. Ocean-based climate solutions - that are ready to action - can play a critical role in helping the world to avoid the worst impacts of the #ClimateCrisis, closing the emissions gap by as much as 35%. Explore the benefits of ocean-based action in the #OceanPanel commissioned #BluePaper 👇🌊 https://bit.ly/3Prv3U1

The Ocean Panel-commissioned 'Ocean as a Solution to Climate Change' Blue Paper is cited in today's The Guardian article about cruise ship emissions. https://lnkd.in/eV2ubeYm

Despite being the planet’s largest carbon sink, 'marine issues usually receive scant consideration at the annual United Nations climate summit'. Bloomberg highlights findings from the #OceanPanel commissioned report, 'The Ocean as a Solution to Climate Change,' emphasising that ocean-based solutions like offshore wind, and decarbonised shipping are essential for achieving the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target. Yet these critical solutions often lack the necessary global attention and financing to scale their impact.
