| Abstract |
Navigating the Future VI complements previous editions of Navigating the Future by considering the role of the Ocean in the wider Earth system, in relation to people (Chapter 2), climate (Chapter 3), fresh water (Chapter 4) and biodiversity (Chapter 5). Chapter 2 on the Ocean and People explores the different types of connections that exist between people and the Ocean, and how we need to reconsider these interactions to move towards sustainability and equity. Chapter 3 on the Ocean and Climate discusses both how the Ocean is being affected by climate change and its role in helping to address it. Chapter 4 on the Ocean and Fresh Water presents the complex interfaces between salt water, fresh water, and ice, as well as the Ocean and land, to demonstrate how challenges in one area also affect others, meaning they must be addressed together. Chapter 5 on the Ocean and Biodiversity highlights the critical role of biodiversity in the provision of ecosystem services to humans, and hence the need to take steps to further protect it. The document closes by considering how marine science itself should evolve and highlights how overarching aspects such as understanding and managing Ocean stressors, considering our Ocean governance structures, and exploring Ocean finance are vital to help us protect our Ocean (Chapter 6). |
