How To Protect The Ocean

COP30 Belém: The Hidden Decisions That Could Change the Ocean Forever


Listen Later

Ocean crisis: COP30 Belém exposed massive gaps in climate action, and the ocean will carry the burden. In this episode we break down the missing fossil fuel commitments, the weak climate finance language, and the two track political system that threatens to push ocean science into the background. These decisions matter because the ocean is already absorbing the heat and carbon that our climate system cannot handle. Climate justice: Indigenous communities and coastal nations called for a stronger voice at COP30 but were pushed aside, even during protests inside the venue. One of the most surprising moments came when Indigenous leaders were removed from the room while speaking about losing their homes and food security, something never mentioned in the global headlines. Coastal restoration: From seagrass meadows to mangroves and kelp forests, this episode explains why ocean based climate solutions are being ignored at the highest levels of global climate policy. You will hear how we can scale these habitats to remove carbon, restore ecosystems, protect communities from storms and sea level rise, and keep the ocean front and center in climate conversations.
