Why does the ocean matter in climate negotiations?

Researchers and experts in the fields of offshore renewable energy, ocean science, plastics and more, at the University of Plymouth together with partners Plymouth Marine Laboratory and Partnership for Observation of the Global Ocean were at COP28.
They shared the latest developments in climate challenges, impacts and options towards sustainable ocean development. The aim was to connect science, industry, policy and society for ocean action in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) processes and to strengthen nationally determined contributions (NDCs).
