Land carbon sinks are included in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) but ocean sinks aren't. Should they be?
No, for several reasons including additionally, equity, and difficulty of MRV (CDR intervention, carbon uptake, and storage could be in different places). 🌊🧪

🌊 Ocean matters for climate. But are countries acting?
Many nations are including ocean actions in their climate plans (NDCs). However, only a few countries are showing concrete leadership with concrete, actionable goals.

NDCs include managed land CO₂ sinks but not ocean ones, and they shouldn't. Ocean uptake of anthropogenic CO₂ is due to physics and biogeochemistry and not anything we're doing. Plus, ocean sinks are already included in the remaining C budget. 🌊

Over 90% of new 2025 #NDCs from coastal & island nations include ocean measures. But major mitigation gaps remain, from offshore oil & gas to shipping and renewables.
