Warm ocean water is less likely to hold oxygen, leading to subsequent ocean acidification. Marine biodiversity is thrown off-kilter, leaving certain ocean regions devoid of life. Hence, for the 70-member coalition known as the Ocean and Climate Platform, the ocean’s sustainability comes into question.

As a result, climate change is already affecting every inhabited region on Earth, and impacts such as sea level rise, ocean acidification, and permafrost melt are inevitable and near-irreversible, leaving only their extent open to question. C or well below 2C - provided governments with the "foundation to act".
