Introduction
Ocean-based climate mitigation solutions are required to achieve net zero.

It is anticipated that annual ocean-based carbon removal will need to reach the multi-gigaton scale – the same scale as today’s global oil and gas industry.

The Ocean-Climate Solutions Summit will gather leaders from science, technology, finance, and policy to understand the strengths, gaps, and opportunities to create an aligned value chain.
