Due to increased greenhouse gas emissions, extended periods of extreme warming in seas and oceans have increased in frequency by 50% in the past 10 years and are becoming more severe.
These Marine Heat Waves (MHWs) threaten marine #biodiversity and ecosystems, make extreme weather more likely, and negatively impact the fisheries, aquaculture and tourism industries.
By investing in Nature-based Solutions and ambitiously reducing #FossilFuel-based emissions, we can limit the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis.
