The Consensus Statement jointly issued by the European Marine Board and the US Consortium for Ocean Leadership calls for recognition of the ocean in climate action and support for long-term ocean-climate research and observation programmes.

The European Marine Board stands ready to work across borders and disciplines towards a greater understanding of ocean-climate nexus and to communicate scientific knowledge to support ocean stewardship and measures to understand, mitigate and adapt to global change.
