The United Nations 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27) convenes in Egypt in November. The world's leaders will discuss the planet’s climate. KPBSErik says San Diego researchers hope the ocean gets the attention it is due.
“Earth is an ocean planet,” said WHOI President and Director Peter de Menocal. “The ocean gives us the oxygen we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. It also provides jobs for billions of people, including many of the world's most vulnerable. It’s only natural that the ocean should also be at the center of discussions about the sustainability of human activity on Earth, including how it can help stabilize the global climate system at a safe level.
The November event, which has happened every year since 1995, is expected to draw more than 35,000 participants during its two-week run. The leaders come from nearly 200 countries, as well as representatives from industry, trade, transportation, labor and more. “The ocean is too big and too complicated for any one organization to go it alone,” de Menocal said. “We will only succeed by joining diverse perspectives to find solutions together.”
Leinen says the ocean took a backseat during the early conferences, when scientists focused mainly on man-made emissions of greenhouse gasses. However, scientists are increasingly recognizing the role the ocean plays in the planet’s climate system.
