“Ocean-climate action is about safeguarding our ocean from climate change impacts while harnessing the ocean's potential to combat climate change - a relationship vital for the health of our planet” - Beth Langley PhD student, University of Glasgow

“Ocean-climate action means taking urgent steps to protect our oceans from climate change impacts. It’s about ensuring a healthy ocean for greater biodiversity and a healthy society” - Gina Kolzenburg Staff Scientist, Umeå University

“Ocean-climate action is remembering how connected everýthing on Earth is – our impact on land, ocean or air has cascading consequences throughout the system” - Heidi Burdett Associate Professor, Umeå University

“Ocean-climate action is remembering that the oceans control Earth’s climate so we cannot tackle climate change without protecting our oceans” - Nick Kamenos Professor, Umeå University

It's #WorldOceanDay! Unfortunately, the climate crisis continues and we are feeling it more than ever.
