Description

Description The Alliance brings together jurisdictions across the globe to combat ocean acidification and changing ocean conditions as an immediate and critical threat to coastal economies and ocean ecosystems
Objectives Ocean acidity has already increased by 30 percent and is expected to double over pre-industrial levels by the end of this century as a result of the ocean absorbing one-third of the atmospheric carbon dioxide generated by human activities.

In joining the Alliance, governments and affiliated partners will endorse a Global Call to Action and will commit to taking to taking actions that address the environmental and economic threat posed by ocean acidification within their region by creating their own unique OA Action Plan.

Activities Supporting governments to take meaningful actions to address changing ocean conditions;

Advocating for inclusion of strong ocean protection provisions in international climate agreements and other relevant frameworks; and Creating a coalition of governments and partners to elevate the visibility and importance of ocean acidification in public discourse and policy development.
