Reflections on the application of “The Ocean Solutions Initiative” for climate change

doi:10.12006/j.issn.1673-1719.2023.161

Abstract

Abstract:

The ocean plays an important role in mitigating and adapting to global climate change. “The Ocean Solutions Initiative” aims to address climate change and reduce the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems and their services through ocean-related measures. A lot of research and practice have been carried out on the role of the ocean in addressing climate change at home and abroad. It has shown that the utilization of marine renewable energy, the protection and restoration of marine ecology, and the construction of marine protected areas can effectively alleviate the negative impacts of climate change. The ocean solutions can be used for national climate change mitigation and adaptation, and included in one of the goals of Nationally Determined Contribution. Further strengthening research on related technologies of the ocean solutions, establishing cross-sectoral coordination mechanisms, and actively carrying out international cooperation can promote the localization and mainstream application of the ocean solutions.

Key words: The Ocean Solutions, Climate change, Deal with, Ocean
