Solid Carbon: a Gigaton-scale Climate Solution
Thursday 11 Nov.
9:00-10:30 PM Pacific Time
5:00-6:30 PM UK/Glasgow
Time
It is now well recognized that climate scenarios for Earth to stay within the limits set by the COP21 Paris Agreement must include negative emission technologies to draw down excessive CO2 from the atmosphere on a large scale. The Solid Carbon team will guide you through one of the safest and most durable negative emission technology climate solutions, offshore carbon capture and geological storage in deep ocean basalt rock. This technology has a global scaling potential for sequestering gigatons of CO2 per year.
You will learn about the technical aspects of modifying and combining existing technologies to enable direct air capture of CO2 in the deep ocean, using sustainable energy on floating platforms, then pump the CO2 into the basaltic ocean crust deep below the ocean and sediments, where over time the CO2 will mineralize and form solid carbonate rock. Social and regulatory acceptance of this climate solution will also be addressed.

Virtual dialogue: Coastal Environmental Justice: Next Steps
Sept. 2 2021
03:00 PM COT
(Bogotá / Lima time GMT - 5)
01:00 PM PDT
08:00 PM GMT
10:00 PM CEST
The Observatory for Coastal Marine Governance of Colombia in alliance with Virtual Blue Decade will carry out the virtual discussion on coastal environmental justice. The steps that have been taken in coastal environmental justice and how these have revolved around blue economy projects will be discussed. Furthermore, as the first generation of projects, it is focused (collectively) in a similar way to the patterns we adopt on earth: local communities are the last to know what is happening to their resources. In this issue a key question arises: How do we turn? Which leads us to think that we have to invest with integrity. An investment system with the local population at the top must be created
On the other hand, most governments do not have a policy to protect their coastal populations. Therefore, it is needed to face challenges such as climate change, from now on, together with governments, and create plans to protect and respect all coastal communities.
Panelists:
-
Dr. Heidi Weiskel. Scientific advisor to the World Environmental Law Alliance
Moderator:
-
Dr. Lina Malagón. Advisor to the Observatory for Coastal Marine Governance and director of the Marine Justice and International Law Research Group.

Après une décennie 2010-2020 des Nations Unies consacrée à la biodiversité, 2021 promet d'être une année décisive pour la conservation mondiale de l’océan, dont l'avenir sera façonné par deux événements majeurs : le Congrès mondial de la nature de l'Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature (UICN) et la Conférence des Nations Unies sur la biodiversité (COP 15). Cette ambitieuse COP déterminera le Cadre mondial de la biodiversité pour l'après-2020. Ce wébinaire abordera la conservation de la biodiversité océanique dans les négociations à venir. Les membres de l'UICN ont activement préparé ces événements. Trois sujets principaux sont abordés dans les 109 motions adoptées par l'UICN en préparation du Congrès mondial de la nature : les recommandations sur la protection des espèces et des écosystèmes menacés, le soutien aux politiques et stratégies pour une protection plus efficace de la biodiversité, et la mise en œuvre d'actions plus fortes contre la pression anthropique sur la nature. Chaque motion a été approuvée par les membres de l'UICN, qui représentent à la fois les États et les ONG nationales.
Avec des intervenants représentant une grande diversité d'acteurs (UICN, CDB, NOAA, WWF), ce wébinaire sera l'occasion de mieux comprendre les aspects océan du processus de négociation, des motions de l'UICN à la préparation de la COP 15. Comment les différents acteurs prennent-ils part au processus - et comment les négociations internationales fonctionnent-elles réellement ? Quels sont les messages qu'ils apporteront à la COP 15 ? Quels sont les principaux enjeux du Cadre mondial pour la biodiversité ? Et, enfin mais non des moindres, comment la pandémie mondiale a-t-elle marqué la préparation de ces événements ?

Our well-being depends on a healthy ocean. It always has. It always will. Pressures on the ocean are intense and growing – but we know recovery is possible. Crucially, a healthy ocean holds the solutions to many of the world’s challenges. And cooperation between countries of the Global North and the Global South is key -- after all, we share one ocean.
In response, the leaders of 14 countries (Australia, Canada, Chile, Fiji, Ghana, Indonesia, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Namibia, Norway, Palau and Portugal) recently announced a new ocean action agenda for sustainably managing 100% of national waters.
Join us for this unique North-South dialogue to learn more about this ocean action agenda from the contrasting perspectives of the Global North and the Global South. Our distinguished panel includes:
Panelists:
-
Robert Blasiak, Researcher, Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University
-
Olanike Adeyemo, Professor of Aquatic Epidemiology and Toxicology Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research, Innovation & Strategic Partnerships), University of Ibadan
-
Kwasi Appeaning Addo, Director of the Institute for Environment and Sanitation Studies (IESS) at the University of Ghana
-
