EIG CONCERT-Japan Joint Call┋Oceans: Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
This EIG CONCERT-Japan joint call for proposals is titled Oceans: Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation and focuses on research on climate change mitigation through blue carbon ecosystems for CO₂ removal and understanding ocean processes to enable climate change adaptation in marine environments.
This call for proposals focuses on research that contributes to global warming mitigation and adaptation in marine environments. This is done through a dual focus on blue carbon ecosystems research for CO₂ removal as a mitigation strategy as well as research for advancing our understanding of ocean processes to inform climate change adaptation strategies.
