A coalition of nearly 100 nations supports a cornerstone provision that would designate 30 percent of the planet’s land and ocean as protected areas. Despite global warming’s dire impact and the key role oceans play in soaking up atmospheric CO2, the seven seas have barely rated a mention within ongoing UN climate talks until recently. But science has made it clear they need each other: oceans will continue to suffer unless greenhouse gas concentrations stabilize, and the fight against global warming will be doomed if oceans lose their capacity to draw down CO2 and soak up heat.
