Ocean action is climate action: A secure biodiverse ocean is key for climate mitigation and the protection of coastal communities: This policy briefing by the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) and Oceana lists actions the German G7 Presidency should take to achieve a 30x30 ocean protection plan which safeguards biodiversity, advances the goals of the Paris Agreement and protects the human rights of coastal communities.
A healthy ocean, with abundant biodiversity, is fundamental to our life on Earth. As the world’s largest active carbon sink, the ocean is the greatest nature-based solution for climate change mitigation and its marine ecosystems offer essential adaptation opportunities.1Well over three billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods.
