International Alliance to Combat Ocean Acidification welcomes PangeaSeed as a new affiliate member, joining a team of partners working to increase ambition for climate action and transform response to climate-ocean change.   

When it comes to climate action, protecting the planet’s biggest ecosystem remains overlooked and underfunded.

The ocean absorbs up to 30% of annual carbon emissions, resulting in a fall in the pH value of its seawaters, thus signifying a rise in their acidity. The past 20–30 years have seen a rapid increase in ocean acidification and, unless decisive actions are taken to mitigate this, it will continue to rise. This event will bring together policymakers, scientists and other ocean experts from within and outside of the Commonwealth to discuss this growing crisis. It will explore the threat ocean acidification poses to marine ecosystems; identify what’s at stake for economies, communities and individuals; and highlight best practices that can help stem its tide.
