Expanding the Global Dialogue
We’re igniting a broader community around a new ocean-climate agenda.
Ocean Visions was created to confront and solve big, complex threats to the ocean. We act as an innovator and catalyzer, identifying promising new strategies and mobilizing diverse disciplines and sectors to advance the bold new solutions we need in the face of accelerating climate disruption.
Our vision? Reset our goal from 1.5-2°C of warming and being worse off than we are today, to a more inspiring target of restoring our climate and ocean.
