IUCN World Conservation
Congress - Hawai’i 2016
Held once every four
years, the IUCN World
Conservation Congress
looks to bring together
change-makers from across
the world, representing the
brightest minds in academia,
government, business,
indigenous peoples and civil
society to find innovative
solutions for our planet. The
IUCN World Conservation
Congress therefore provides
a unique and well-timed
opportunity to add to the
historic agreement at the
UNFCCC COP Paris and will
serve to mobilise action.
The theme of this year’s
Congress is “Planet at the
crossroads”, highlighting the
necessity for urgent change
and the importance of making
the right decisions now that
will affect our planet and
future generations. Instead
of succumbing to a pessimist
narrative, IUCN chooses instead
to insist that we are ready and
able to take on this important
challenge and make great change
together.
We are very lucky to have
inspiring marine conservation
heroes in attendance, including
the author of this year’s editorial,
Sylvia Earle, an IUCN Patron
of Nature and the founder of
Mission Blue. Her presence,
among other amazing attendees
at this year’s Congress, will create
an atmosphere of excitement
and possibility that will set
the scene for successful
decision-making.
If you’ll be in beautiful
Hawai’i, please join us at our
Oceans & Islands Pavilion,
which will be organised
around three key themes:
- Marine Protected Area
Networks
-Islands & Overseas Territories
- Financing & Blue Economy
We will explore the issues
facing our oceans, islands
and our poles today and
provide a space where
interested individuals and
professionals can mingle
and discuss solutions for the
future.
3. Oceans Warming Report
To be Released at Congress
2015Was the
warmest on
record
120 Years
Since we found
out about global
warming
>93%of the enhanced heating
since the 1970s due to
the greenhouse effect
has been absorbed
by the ocean
2.5Gtof frozen methane
hydrate are stored
in the sea floor
The IUCN Congress marks a
unique opportunity to bring
together change-makers
to develop collaborative
solutionstobenefitthehealth
of our planet. At this year’s
Congress, IUCN will release
a landmark publication
on ocean warming that
is the most recent and
comprehensive report ever
published on the subject.
Bringing together 80
scientists from 12 countries,
this report seeks to provide
a comprehensive analysis
on the impacts of the ocean
absorbing more than 93% of
the enhanced heating from
the greenhouse effect and
other human activities since
the 1970s.
The report delves deep into
this issue, analysing the
impactsonoceanecosystems,
species and even the deep
remote ocean. It reviews
the impacts and effects of
ocean warming on specific
seas and ecosystems ranging
from micro-organisms up to
marine turtles and mammals.
The report also examines
the impacts on ecosystem
services.
The upper
700m
of the ocean contains
the same heat content
as ~240 times the
global energy
consumption
in 2013
Ocean warming
Results in a loss of
OXYGEN
in water, due to a re-
duce of solubility;
Impacting
Ecosystems.
Thereportprovidesanalysisof
the existing and likely future
economic consequences,
including on the weather, the
protection of coasts and on
the contributions of fisheries
and aquaculture. The report
also importantly reviews
as potential risks to human
health and well-being.
Finally, the report finishes
by detailing what changes
are currently underway
and what we can expect
from the future, with some
key recommendations. It
should be used to contribute
to further discussion and
thought on this subject, in
particular at high-levels such
as in the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change,
as well as for use by
governments, agencies and
experts worldwide.
Ensuring the resiliency of
our oceans is vital to the
planet’s survival. Please join
us for subsequent important
discussions on this report and
issue in the Oceans & Islands
Pavilion and at other events
during the Congress.
