Transformational Opportunities for People, Ocean, and Planet

In 2020, the Blue Climate Initiative engaged with sixty multidisciplinary scientists and academic experts to identify the most promising Transformational Opportunities (TOPS) to address climate change using the power of the ocean, while serving humanity’s needs. Their insights are published in six thematic papers centered on food and nutrition, marine energy and transportation, biodiversity and nature-based solutions, mineral and genetic resources, health and well-being, and sustainable tourism. This Compendium presents over forty such TOPS that can sustain Earth’s people, steward our ocean, and heal our planet.Published by Tetiaroa Society, a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (tetiaroasociety.org) that acts as the fiscal sponsor for the Blue Climate Initiative
