About this Discussion

According to the IPCC, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere is directly linked to the average global temperature on Earth, and the concentration has been rising steadily. The most abundant greenhouse gas, accounting for about two-thirds of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, is largely the product of burning fossil fuels. 

There is alarming evidence that important tipping points, leading to irreversible changes in major ecosystems and the planetary climate system, may already have been reached or passed. One of the most urgent challenges facing countries across the world today is how to achieve economic prosperity and development while also combating climate change.

The Paris climate change agreement commits nations to limit global temperature rise to no more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with countries pledging to cut or curb their greenhouse gas emissions – through a combination of mitigation and adaptation measures – by 2030.

Maria Dumpert commented on Stephani Widorini's Post in Blue Economy, Climate Change

Together with seven leading environmental organisations, WRI released a guide that shows how countries can incorporate ocean-based climate solutions into their NDCs. “Enhancing Nationally Determined Contributions: Opportunities for Ocean-Based Climate Action” focuses on four ocean-based subsectors that have the greatest potential to curb emissions and other benefits: Blue carbon coastal ecosystems, oceanic and coastal fisheries, ocean-based renewable energy, ocean-based transport.
