正文(英文) | We are moving in the right direction, says WWF.
The decision text released at the conclusion of COP26 represents an important step forward in recognizing the role of nature, and the ocean specifically, in addressing the climate crisis. The science is clear: There is no viable route to limiting global warming to 1.5°C without nature.Protecting, conserving and restoring ocean ecosystems, including mangroves, salt marshes, coral reefs, seagrass beds and kelp forests, supports delivery of crucial services such as carbon sequestration, reducing vulnerability to storms and flooding, and supporting sustainable livelihoods, including for indigenous peoples and local communities. The call for an annual dialogue to strengthen ocean-based mitigation and adaptation action, and to integrate ocean-based action in existing mandates and workplans of the UNFCCC are also important advancements. These are a recognition of the effects of climate change on the ocean and the role ocean-based solutions can play in addressing the climate crisis. The rising tide of support for integrating ocean action into the UNFCCC and in the official outcome of COP26 can be credited to a broad coalition of ocean champions representing the public and private sectors, non-profit, scientific, youth and civil society groups. WWF is proud to be part of this movement to carry the message that a healthy and resilient ocean is critical to achieving the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement. Just as the ocean is essential to a functioning climate, so it must be to the workings of the UNFCCC. We are pleased that an annual ocean-climate dialogue will now be a fundamental component of future COPs. The hard work to turn talk into action lies ahead; the ocean-climate dialogue will be an important tool to build ambition and ensure ongoing integration. Priority actions should strengthen the mitigation, adaptation and resilience potential of the ocean, as well as dependent communities and economies, through nature-based solutions and measures that are biodiversity-positive and can deliver net-zero outcomes. The wave of support for ocean action and ambition was also demonstrated through a number of high-level commitments and announcements.
