The latest findings of the IPCC confirm we are in code red for humanity: the international community is failing to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), the ocean and its ecosystems are in distress, and the most vulnerable communities around the world are already facing existential threats from climate change.
Although the current outlook is bleak, the most important meeting on climate since the Paris Agreement, COP26 took place 31st of October – 12th of November 2021. This COP was going to be a real game-changer for global political ambition to finally match the urgency of the situation.
In this challenge, a healthy and productive ocean is a vital asset to achieve a resilient, nature-positive, and net-zero future. This is the stance taken by the High-Level Climate Champions and the ocean community in signing the Ocean for Climate Declaration: a call to governments and non-state actors to scale up ocean-based climate solutions and action.
Together with several other businesses, organizations, and state nations, the Grieg Group signed the declaration in 2021.
The complete declaration is available for you to read. If you have any questions related to the signing on behalf of The Grieg Group, please reach out to Gry Larsen, Leader Sustainability and Public Affairs.
