  5. United Nations Climate Action – On climate and ocean
The ocean is central to reducing global greenhouse gas emissions and stabilizing the Earth’s climate. Coral reefs support over 25 per cent of marine biodiversity and serve up to a billion people. Offshore wind capacity is expected to increase fifteen-fold by 2040. Wind power alone has the potential to cover more than one third of global power needs.
