Blue Climate is a specialist team whose goal is to show how the ocean can help prevent climate change. We also support Blue Marine’s wider conservation and restoration work by delivering targeted evidence to inform political change. We use Blue Marine’s projects to develop templates of best practice for communities and biodiversity, and campaign to raise the profile of the ocean as a climate-change solution at events such as the annual UN COPs.
If we want to solve the crises in climate and biodiversity, we need to recognise that they are interconnected – and the ocean is our crucial ally. In 2024, we launched the policy brief ‘Blue Thread: Aligning National Climate and Biodiversity Strategies’ with the Ocean & Climate Platform, an alliance of more than 70 NGOs and research institutions. The brief encourages the building of a common, long-term strategy for greater integration between the UN Climate and Biodiversity Conventions at implementation level.
