Key Points: 
  • It holds 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere and soaks up more carbon than all global rainforests combined.
  • Yet todays climate targets do not include the impact of our changing ocean taking its capacity for granted.
  • Incomplete data harms the credibility of global climate targets, says Dr. Anya Waite, CEO, Ocean Frontier Institute.
  • Global investors and policy-makers need confidence in the climate calculations, and that confidence cannot be guaranteed unless the impact of ocean carbon is factored into climate targets, added Dr. Waite.

The workshop opened with remarks from the Honourable Jonathon Wilkinson, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, who said “The world’s ambitions for a net-zero-carbon future depend on the ocean’s ability to continue to absorb carbon. That’s a huge, life-altering bet -- that the ocean will continue to act in the same way and continue its current capacity to absorb carbon. We need better data so governments can make more informed policy choices on the climate crisis.”
