The ocean is a global commons that supports all life, and the stability of nations. Across the entire world. The ocean is heating, losing life, acidifying, loaded with plastic and chemicals, losing oxygen. Losing resilience. Sylvia Earle's call to action observer.co.uk/news/our-plane…

Johan Rockström Ocean resilience is the heartbeat of our world. Honoring ancient wisdom and acting together, we restore balance—for the Earth, and for ourselves. Our future depends on what we choose, now.

Plenary Recap: Ocean and Poles🌊❄️The Ocean and Poles are vital for our planet's stability. Young explorers Arzucan Askin FRGS, Jade Hameister, Alex Rockström, Isak Rockström, and veteran @Keith Tuffey shared their experiences on climate change and the need to connect with nature.


New paper shows the pace of global warming has roughly doubled since the 1980s. Led by Piers Forster, over 60 scientists have worked to update "Indicators of Global Climate Change" - including PIK researchers William Lamb and Jan Minx. pik-potsdam.de/en/news/latest…



This important paper passed under the media radar. It analyses a key indicator of the stability of the Atlantic ocean circulation #AMOC, in measured ocean data. It finds that most climate models get this wrong, and thus have an #AMOC that is too stable. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
