OFI, together with the Embassy of France in Canada, NORCE Norwegian Research Centre and JPI Oceans was pleased to host our #AAORIAForum24 colleagues for a social last night, where we spoke about governance and finance for ocean carbon observation. We appreciated everyone’s interest and questions, and look forward to continuing this work which is crucial to improving climate forecasts and supporting climate solutions.

Did you know: Ocean-based climate solutions could potentially contribute up to 21 per cent of the emissions reductions and removals necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2050 Today at #OCEANS2024 is all about climate solutions, and the massive role of our oceans in reducing and removing CO2 emissions.
