npj Climate Action - Decoding governance functions to navigate ocean-based climate action

Coral reef conservation is facing increasing pressure to act boldly in the face of climate-altered futures. This perspective offers five guiding principles—termed Minimum-In Minimum-Out (MIMO)—that support deliberate, ethical, and system-oriented responses. MIMO reconsiders what constitutes viable climate action and offers a responsible path between resigned inaction and technological optimism.

Marine systems are rapidly changing in response to global heating. The scale and intensity of change are triggering a host of novel interventions to sustain oceans and ocean-dependent societies. Howev...

Experimental climate interventions in the world’s oceans are moving ahead in a regulatory vacuum, raising concerns among scientists about potential risks, Mongabay staff writer Edward Carver…

Anti-immigration sentiment is fuelling a drive to slash international student and worker numbers, but at what cost to researchers and countries leading the charge?

Climate interventions are accelerating in our oceans—but without responsible governance, they could do more harm than good, according to new research.

Researchers’ failures to communicate are jeopardizing even basic tests, but new projects may point the way forward

Oceans are on the frontline of an array of new marine–climate actions that are both poorly understood and under-regulated. Development and deployment of these interventions is outpacing governance rea...

Prospects for mitigating sea level rise by slowing flows of glacial ice into the ocean are worthy of research, but this work must involve all rights holders and stakeholders.
