Ocean Acidification in the North-East Atlantic, Arctic and Baltic Waters
Ocean Acidification in the North-East Atlantic, Arctic and Baltic Waters: Another reason for enhancing the ambition for CO2 emissions reduction
Ocean acidification, caused by ocean uptake of nearly 30% of CO2 emission to date, is impacting ocean ecosystems, fisheries, and dependant societies in waters surrounding the Nordic nations. High-level speakers and science experts will look to raise ambition for emissions reduction towards achieving The Paris Agreement, followed by a Q&A with the audience.
