Ocean acidification and climate change: synergies and challenges of addressing both under the UNFCCC

Abstract: Ocean acidification and climate change are linked by their common driver: CO 2 . Climate change is the consequence of a range of GHG emissions, but ocean acidification on a global scale is caused solely by increased concentrations of atmospheric CO 2 . Reducing CO 2 emissions is therefore the most effective way to mitigate ocean acidification. Acting to prevent further ocean acidification by reducing CO 2 emissions will also provide simultaneous benefits by alleviating future climate change. Although it is pos… Show more

“…According to the Copenhagen Accord (7), meeting these goals requires that the increase in average global surface temperature be less than 2°C over the preindustrial average. However, despite the ocean's critical role in global ecosystem goods and services, international climate negotiations have only minimally considered ocean impacts, especially those related to ocean acidification (8). Accordingly, highlighting oceanrelated issues is now crucial, given that even achieving the +2°C target (set on global temperature) would not prevent many climate-related impacts upon the ocean (9).…”

“…cement) also generate CO 2 as a by-product and thus contribute indirectly to the increasing levels of OA. While the economic literature on market failures in general is extensive, the results devoted specifically to OA are rare in this discipline, and a search for key word “ocean acidification” in the database ECONLIT (21 March 2018) returned only 18 publications, most of them focusing on impacts rather than causes, with a few exceptions (Fauville et al 2011 ; Harrould-Kolieb and Herr 2011 ; Galaz et al 2012 ; Miller et al 2013 ).…”
