OTS - The ocean - a climate champion? How to boost marine carbon dioxide uptake (part 2)

Hamburg/Kiel, 24 January, 2024 (APA/OTS) -
A contribution to a better understanding of the necessary
measures and their impacts
"If the warming of the Earth continues at the present rate, a
collapse of nature and society is inevitable. In order to reach our
climate target, we must resort to methods which are equally
impactful and existential. The truth is that stopping avoidable
emissions will not be enough. I very much hope that the new World
Ocean Review will help to enhance understanding of the measures
that will unfortunately be necessary and raise awareness of their
impacts," says Nikolaus Gelpke, initiator of the WOR project and
Managing Director of maribus gGmbH. World Ocean Review is published
by maribus gGmbH in partnership with the German Marine Research
Consortium (KDM), the Kiel Future Ocean Network and the
International Ocean Institute.
"WOR 8 describes measures which can be or are already being
implemented, as well as those which should be assessed as options
in terms of their benefits and possible risks. All the German
marine research institutions and organizations are involved in
related projects, proving once again that collaboration among the
various marine research disciplines is capable of making fast,
deliverable and sustainable contributions to solving a global
problem. WOR 8 provides an impressive overview of current research
in 2023 and also identifies where there are knowledge gaps so that
even more viable recommendations can be made to executive
agencies," Prof. Dr. Ulrich Bathmann, Chair of the German Marine
Research Consortium (KDM), writes in his preface.
And as Prof. Dr. Martin Visbeck, Co-Spokesperson of Future
Ocean, explains: "The themes addressed in WOR 8 will continue to
preoccupy us for many years to come. At the international level,
they form part of the climate negotiations towards compliance with
the Paris Agreement and are embedded in the UN Decade of Ocean
Science for Sustainable Development, which started in 2021 and
focuses on the interface between ocean and climate and on the
necessary social transformation processes. Research on this topic
is therefore future-focused, and the new edition of WOR provides
significant impetus for this scientific field."
World Ocean Review is published every two years in German and
English and has a worldwide readership of policy-makers, business
and civil society stakeholders with an interest in the topics
covered. It provides up-to-date background information on relevant
ocean-related issues and is aimed at anyone wishing to have a say
on marine conservation and use.
The eighth edition of WOR, entitled The ocean - a climate
champion? How to boost marine carbon dioxide uptake, is published
today. It can be ordered as a printed copy or downloaded free of
charge as a pdf from https://worldoceanreview.com/en/.
