Abstract

Ocean acidification, primarily driven by increased atmospheric carbon dioxide, poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and human livelihoods. This paper examines the global response to this urgent environmental challenge, highlighting the importance of international collaboration and concerted action. We review key initiatives, including the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which emphasize the need for robust strategies to mitigate acidification's impacts. The role of scientific research in monitoring ocean chemistry and understanding ecological consequences is also explored, alongside the engagement of various stakeholders, including governments, NGOs, and local communities. Case studies illustrating successful collaborative efforts, such as regional action plans and public awareness campaigns, demonstrate the potential for scalable solutions. By fostering interdisciplinary approaches and promoting knowledge-sharing, the global community can enhance resilience to ocean acidification and ensure the sustainability of marine resources for future generations. This paper calls for increased commitment to collaborative frameworks that prioritize innovative solutions and adaptive management strategies in response to the ongoing challenges of ocean acidification.
