Blue carbon: a golden climate mitigation opportunity

Our ocean is our greatest ally in the fight against climate breakdown. Join us in calling on world leaders to protect blue carbon and ocean environments: act.ejfoundation.org/bluecarbon
As we face up to global warming, the world must recognise that preserving the vast reservoirs of blue carbon in coastal and marine environments is vital for avoiding catastrophic climate breakdown.
The COP26 climate talks in November 2021 are arguably the most important meeting for generations. They will either set us on the road to a sustainable future for humanity, or towards conflict, suffering and mass extinctions.
EJF calls for world leaders to:
- Recognise the critical importance of our ocean and blue carbon in the fight against the climate emergency.
- Include specific, legally binding targets to protect and restore blue carbon environments in their updated Nationally Determined Contribution implementation plans, under the Paris Agreement.
- Commit to the 30x30 ocean protection plan and designate at least 30% of the ocean - including ecologically representative areas - as fully or highly protected marine protected areas by 2030.
- Implement an international moratorium on deep sea mining to protect the deep sea from irreversible, large-scale harm.

YES, indeed! Our ocean is our greatest ally in the fight against climate breakdown. Can I share this video to use as a panel discussion? Sharing at a non-profit forum......

[@EnvironmentalJusticeFoundation]

Hello! Yes, feel free. Could you let us know any details about the panel discussion?

[@boyycp]

We are currently working on promoting blue carbon initiatives in Eastern Taiwan. A forum on promoting Hualien's blue carbon will be held on October 20th in Hualien County, Taiwan. Further details will be gradually provided.

Is carbon dioxide sequestered by plant life and phytoplankton not simply reintroduced into the carbon cycle when they are decomposed by oxygen breathing organisms? What if these things only seem like solutions superficially? I'm probably missing something.
