The United Nations Organization (UNO) announced today, Wednesday 14 October, a Rapid Response Report, which has involved the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC), which shows how the recovery of large natural sinks ocean (seagrass beds, mudflats and mangrove forests) can help reduce, along with halting the deforestation, 25% CO2 emissions to avoid the consequences more “dangerous” climate change. The report also urges governments to create an investment fund and take urgent measures to maintain and rehabilitate the so-called ‘carbon sinks blue’.
Two months before the next climate summit in Copenhagen, the document Carbon Blue: the role of healthy oceans in carbon capturePresented by the UN for the National Marine Month in South Africa, says these marine capture and store a quantity of carbon dioxide equivalent to half of the annual emissions from the transport sector around the world and warns that, in the currently falling at a rate seven times greater than 50 years ago. It is estimated that each year is lost between 2% and 7% of these natural sinks more powerful than the rainforests.
