Initiative Blue Climate : des solutions pour les gens, l'océan et la planète

You may have noticed Tetiaroa Society sharing news and information about the Blue Climate Initiative recently and wondered, “What is the Blue Climate Initiative and how is it related to Tetiaroa Society?”

The Blue Climate Initiative is a global initiative bringing together scientists, community groups, entrepreneurs, investors, philanthropists, influencers, and others to protect the ocean and accelerate ocean-related strategies to address the climate crisis and other pressing environmental issues. The fiscal sponsor for the Blue Climate Initiative is Tetiaroa Society.

The health of our oceans is critical. Oceans generate an astounding one-half of the world’s oxygen and absorb one-quarter of its carbon dioxide emissions. Over 3 billion people depend on the oceans for their primary source of nutrition. The oceans’ goods and services generate about $2.5 trillion per year, equivalent to the world's seventh largest economy. Yet these vital services are threatened by global warming, ocean acidification, pollution, unsustainable fishing practices and other threats. We need immediate concerted action.

The Blue Climate Initiative is accelerating an ocean innovation movement to address urgent environmental needs.
