Enhancing Nationally Determined Contributions: Opportunities for Ocean-Based Climate Action
Developed by leading environmental organizations, this report identifies ocean based climate actions that can help countries strengthen Nationally Determined Contributions. It examines opportunities in marine conservation, fisheries, marine transport, and ocean based renewable energy to reduce emissions, build resilience, and support climate goals.

Abstract
Developed by World Resources Institute and seven other leading environmental organizations, “Enhancing Nationally Determined Contributions: Opportunities for Ocean-Based Climate Action” outlines the best ways countries can use ocean-based action to curb greenhouse gas emissions and better adapt to the impacts of climate change. The paper focuses on four ocean-based subsectors that have the greatest potential to curb emissions and deliver significant other benefits: marine conservation (coastal and marine ecosystem restoration and protection), oceanic and coastal fisheries, marine transport, and ocean-based renewable energy.
