Event:Ocean-based solutions for climate action - feedback from the field and contributions from marine sciences
Published on
A wide range of ocean-based solutions exist to limit climate change and its impacts on marine ecosystems, both in terms of mitigation and adaptation. The contributions of science and feedback from field experiences are essential to their translation into actions, so that global warming can be maintained well below 2°C, and societies and ecosystems can adapt.
For the COP25 on climate the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM), the Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (Iddri) and the TARA Ocean Foundation, in partnership with the French Agency for Biodiversity (AFB), the Ocean and Climate Platform (POC) and the Prince Albert II Foundation invite you to discover these solutions and the opportunities they represent for climate action, during this event.

- Mrs Haydée Rodriguez, Deputy Minister of Environment of Costa Rica
- Hans-Otto Pörtner, Co-Chair of IPCC Group 2
- Jean-Pierre Gattuso, Research Director at CNRS and Sorbonne University, Associate Researcher at Iddri
