The Ocean x Climate Appeal
The Ocean x Climate Appeal seeks to generate a groundswell of public awareness for the importance of the ocean, all who depend on it, and all it sustains, in mitigating the climate crisis. It is a global movement to demand urgent attention for the ocean, as well as to amplify collaborative initiatives and catalyze streamlined action to protect the entirety of our blue planet.

The Appeal: "I recognize the vital importance of the ocean in mitigating the climate crisis and sustaining all life on earth. I pledge to use my own voice to elevate the visibility of the ocean and I call on decision-makers and civil society to prioritize ocean-climate matters in their respective spheres of influence across policy-making, investments, research, education, media coverage, philanthropic support, content creation, technological innovation, and wherever else relevant. I pledge to stay informed on ocean-related news to the best of my ability, and to amplify solutions, honor local, traditional, and Indigenous wisdom, share knowledge, and collaborate where I can towards catalyzing positive change." "With my signature, I acknowledge that we live on a blue planet and I pledge to take action towards protecting the ocean and all it sustains."
