Ocean Visions Biennial Summit 2025: Advancing Solutions for Ocean-Climate Restoration
January 14, 2025
The Summit will explore approaches and solutions to climate disruption in the ocean through the lens of four key themes.
Climate Disruption is the Top Threat to Our Ocean
Together we can advance new solutions to stabilize the climate and restore the ocean
Our Strategy — Reduce, Remove, Repair, Reach
Enormous greenhouse gas pollution is disrupting the climate and driving dangerous ocean overheating and acidification—devastating marine life and diminishing the ocean’s ability to support humanity. Our four-part strategy directly addresses the causes and impacts of climate disruption:
REDUCE
CO₂ emissions
Maximize low-carbon food, energy and transportation from the ocean
REMOVE
CO₂ pollution
Engage the size and power of the ocean to draw down and safely store carbon pollution
REPAIR
Advance collaborative research to slow and avoid catastrophic loss of critical marine ecosystems while we rebalance global carbon cycles
REACH
Build a global community to innovate and develop ocean-climate solutions

First-Ever Assessment of Pathways to Slow the Loss of Arctic Sea Ice
The loss of Arctic summer sea ice is one of the most alarming indicators of climate change. The only durable solution is rapid and deep global decarbonization. However, to minimize interim risks, there may be complementary actions we can take to help avoid the worst outcomes. In partnership with an international, multidisciplinary team of experts, we've created an assessment of potential pathways to slow Arctic sea ice loss.
Ocean Visions Biennial Summit 2025
We’re thrilled to announce that the 4th Ocean Visions Biennial Summit 2025 will be held in March 25-27 2025, in Vancouver, Canada. This action-oriented event will bring together scientists, policymakers, innovators, funders, students, and others to explore solutions and strengthen partnerships to help restore our ocean and stabilize the climate.
