Inform your discussions and decisions this week: climate change, pollution and other destructive activities continue to harm marine ecosystems and their ability to reduce CO2 emissions—with implications for both ocean and wider planetary health. Tomorrow marks #WorldOceanDay, an annual event that tackles some of the most critical challenges facing our seas.
Blue natural capital—such as mangroves, seagrass and whales—contributes to ocean biodiversity, functions as carbon sinks and builds coastal resilience. Discover how we can protect and value these natural resources and attract greater investment with this special World Ocean Day Insight Hour.
