From COSIS to ITLOS The ocean and climate are inextricably linked. On one hand, numerous adverse effects of climate change manifest in the ocean, such as ocean acidification, temperature changes, and rising sea levels. On the other hand, the ocean plays an important role in combating climate change.

In a blog post last month, I wrote about the growing interest in ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR), and the complex legal issues it raises. Much of the legal complexity surrounding ocean CDR stems from the fact that the ocean is a shared resource in which all countries, both coastal and landlocked, have an interest.

This “sink” function is so significant that, until 1957, one objection to a causal link between anthropogenic emissions and global warming was that the oceans would absorb most of the excess CO2, thus breaking this link.
