Land and Ocean Stewardship focuses on acknowledging the role forests, food, lands and ocean ecosystems play in mitigating climate change and making our world more resilient, while also ensuring sufficient food supplies for a growing population. Two initiatives include: The 30X30 Forests, Food and Land Challenge where businesses, governments and global citizens commit to taking action for better forest and habitat conservation, food production and consumption, and land use, working together across all sectors of the economy to deliver up to 30 percent of the climate solutions needed by 2030; and Ocean-Climate Action Agenda that defines that the ocean is critical to the global fight against climate change and to all life on Earth and that it plays a central role in absorbing human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and provides myriad other services that underpin the world’s economic, political and cultural systems.
