RELEASE: Ocean-based Climate Action Could Deliver Up to 35% of Emission Cuts Needed to Limit Temperature Rise to 1.5°C by 2050
NEW YORK (SEPTEMBER 20, 2023) - Ocean-based action can play a critical role to help the world avoid the worst impacts of climate change, according to a new study commissioned by the High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy (Ocean Panel). The new report finds that ready-to-implement ocean solutions could close the emissions gap in 2050 by up to 35 percent on a 1.5°C pathway, a reduction equivalent to four times the annual emissions of European Union countries.
