Polar oceans store carbon, but policy lags on counting it
Original: Polar oceans store carbon—but policy is not yet ready to count it
New reporting highlights that polar oceans play a major role in storing carbon dioxide, acting as a significant natural carbon sink. However, current climate policy frameworks are not yet equipped to properly account for this oceanic carbon storage, leaving a gap between what science has measured and what international agreements formally recognize.
Why now: Growing attention on ocean carbon sinks as climate policy debates consider how natural storage should be counted in emissions frameworks
