Dr. Anya Waite will be a guest speaker at the Elisabeth Mann Borgese Ocean Lecture Series.
Her lecture will focus on how to achieve meaningful ocean-climate action, with a focus on two of our key initiatives: the North Atlantic Carbon Observatory and the Transforming Climate Action research program.
The lecture is open to the public with a reception to follow. For more information, call 902.494.6918 or email [email protected].
This lecture series commemorates and celebrates the life and work of Elisabeth Mann Borgese, founder of the International Ocean Institute.
Launched in 2005 to mark the 25th anniversary of the IOI Training Programme in Halifax, the series aims to encourage the debate on oceans issues which was so dear to Elisabeth, by inviting internationally renowned speakers to discuss important and timely ocean-related topics.
The series is designed to generate awareness among stakeholders, academics, students and the general public about important ocean issues.

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), when paired with extensive emissions reductions, is a mitigation strategy to limit warming to 1.5°C as it removes legacy carbon emissions from the atmosphere by augmenting natural processes on ocean and land.
However, in order to meet climate goals, CDR must scale 30 times its present capacity by 2030, which is estimated to require an annual global investment of 1.13 billion USD/year for research and development.

This panel event is focused on the Global Greenhouse Gas Watch, which will provide a valuable tool to support the transparency of global mitigation action.
The system will be built on three components:
Open and unrestricted access to data will ensure a full transparency of system outputs, which will provide globally consistent information that will feed multiple applications including supplementary information to the traditional inventory reporting.
