The earth’s climate system and the global carbon cycle are coupled with major ecosystems such as forests and oceans ...

Ocean acidification and environmental change in lakes were the most frequently cited topics by the IPCC and IPBES, according to a recent impact assessment of AQUACOSM-plus, an EU-funded project focused on experimental research in aquatic environments.

Mass bleaching of corals have become a global phenomenon. Among the best-known coral reefs is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, which has suffered from mass bleaching events for more than two decades.

The problems associated with and the solutions needed to address OA are unique and cannot be bundled together with traditional climate change responses and measures.

In the last five years, there have been three severe marine heatwaves that have caused significant bleaching of corals at the Great Barrier Reef.
