The ocean is our greatest climate ally, covering 71% of Earth’s surface and playing a vital role in regulating our planet’s climate. It absorbs an astonishing 25% of global carbon emissions, acting as a natural carbon sink and buffer against climate change. Yet, despite its immense importance, less than 1% of climate funding is directed toward ocean-based solutions. With the blue economy projected to grow into a $1.5 trillion opportunity by 2030, now is the time to unlock the ocean’s potential as a powerful driver of climate action and sustainable economic growth.
