It is imperative that governments and civil society continue to advance the suite of science and policy actions that will be needed to support food security and sovereignty, increase resilience of marine ecosystems and build a sustainable ocean economy. This is reflected in commitments to the UNFCCC, UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and is especially relevant for supporting the target of SDG 14.3 to “Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification”.
As the science, research and observed impacts of ocean acidification continue to grow, there is an ongoing need for increased knowledge exchange and expertise on the substance and process for developing local, regional and national responses in the face of cumulative climate driven ocean change.
