The IPCC approved and accepted Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC) at its 51st Session held on 20 – 23 September 2019.

The report holds a special importance for the Pacific region, where Leaders have called for a bold and visionary Blue Pacific strategy, where lives of communities and nations are so closely associated with marine and coastal resources, and where cultural and societal values intrinsically link up to the Ocean.

The report provides a rather bleak picture for the present and future of the ocean and the countries depending on it. Taking a Pacific perspective, the event will bring together authors and Pacific representatives to review the relevance of the findings in terms of key priorities for the region, including Sea Level Rise, coral reef degradation or sustainable management of marine resources.
