The ocean plays a critical role in the fight against climate change. For example, coastal ecosystems like mangroves, seagrasses and salt marshes store "blue carbon" to combat global warming.
Protecting, and where possible, restoring these ecosystems is one important solution we can take to ensure the ocean remains a powerful ally to combat climate change.
Since the Industrial Revolution, the ocean has absorbed about a third of human carbon emissions, playing a vital role in protecting our planet. But what exactly is blue carbon, and how does it work? Find out on our interactive webpage!
