By 2050, to stay under a 1.5 degrees Celsius change relative to pre-industrial levels, emission reductions of about 13.76 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year are needed from ocean-based solutions. This amounts to nearly 35 percent of the needed annual greenhouse gas emissions reductions by 2050.
