Overview

Our Oceans are the largest carbon sinks on the planet and hold 12 times more carbon that land and 45 times more than the atmosphere. The Oceans have absorbed 25% of human induced CO2 emissions and 93% of increased atmospheric heating, making them the biggest climate regulators.

On this live, interactive, virtual session our Oceanographer will take you on a journey where you will learn about the importance of our Oceans and how they are changing due to centuries of absorbing atmospheric carbon, leading to acidification and rising sea levels. You will learn how, besides the impact of fossil fuels, deep sea fishing is threatening to release the vast stores of carbon on the ocean floors. This session also covers how plastics are choking our oceans and threatening marine life.

Travel to Dhaka in Bangladesh to meet  farmers who have had to flee the coasts owing to rising sea levels and seek a new life in the city, becoming 'climate refugees'. Where this session highlights the drastic impact of climate change on communities, it also brings hope as it takes us to the Maldoves, where you will witness a real life example of how coastal belts were regenerated and the Oceans replenished proving that we can make a difference if we act collectively and urgently.
