Clean ocean energy solutions are critical to reducing emissions and averting the climate crisis. Climate change is the single greatest threat our ocean faces. It puts the wildlife and communities that depend on the ocean at risk through impacts like ocean acidification, sea level rise and temperature changes.

Warmer temperatures will encourage the melting of glaciers, ice fields, summer Arctic sea ice, and permafrost, some of which may be irreversible. Sea levels will continue to rise throughout the 21st century, contributing to more frequent and severe coastal flooding in low-lying areas along coasts around the world. Figure SPM.7
