FOCAL THEME

The focal theme ‘Sustainability of Oceans and Climate Change’ underscores the critical interplay between ocean health and climate stability. Oceans, covering over 70% of the Earth’s surface, are pivotal in regulating global climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and heat. However, climate change threatens this balance, leading to ocean warming, acidification, and rising sea levels. Sustainable practices are essential to protect marine ecosystems, support biodiversity, and ensure the livelihoods of communities dependent on ocean resources.
