Scientists have extensively documented the impacts of climate change on the ocean. As greenhouse gas emissions have increased, the ocean has become hotter, more acidic, and less habitable for fish and wildlife. But the ocean is not just a victim of climate change. It is also a powerful source of solutions that have the potential to provide one-fifth of the greenhouse gas emission reductions needed to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. By implementing a full suite of ocean-based climate solutions, the federal government can bolster the front-line communities most at risk from climate change, increase the resilience of ocean ecosystems, and put the United States back in a leadership role in the global effort to fight the climate crisis.

Please join the Center for American Progress, the League of Conservation Voters, and Ocean Defense Initiative for a discussion on the future of ocean climate action. Former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Carol Browner will moderate a panel of experts and stakeholders who will discuss the ocean climate nexus and how to build momentum to implement ocean climate solutions.
