Through policy combing and comparison, expert interviews, and workshops, this study brings together the thinking and perspectives of Chinese and foreign experts on the synergies between climate change and ocean policy, and provides a preliminary identification of priority areas for future bilateral cooperation.

With an overview of tools applicable to the planning of large-scale marine protected areas, this report provides information and possible approaches for the future planning of large-scale marine protected areas and global ocean governance, to further enhance the understanding of large-scale marine protected areas among the public.

This study considers that blue finance could paly a more positive role in the sustainable development of ocean economy and proposes suggestions for future priorities for China.

This quick-read material consisting of several briefings has mapped out key issues and background information on the relationship between the ocean and the CBD. It has been produced for partners interested in the post-2020 biodiversity process.

The health of the ocean is of the common concern of humanity. While the ocean environmental challenge rose, states have been taken progressive measures to combat the problems within their water. However, the actions to protect the ocean beyond national jurisdiction is falling behind. Focusing on issues relating to the high sea marine protected areas(MPAs) in the context of BBNJ ( conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction), this report tries to illustrate the complexity of high sea governance and elaborate the necessity of protecting the high seas from the perspective of politics, science, management and law.

In recent years, marine protection has gradually become a hot topic in international environmental politics. MPA, as a tool of marine zoning management, has attracted more and more concern and attention. In this context, a seminar on “Design of Large Marine Protected Areas: Theory and Practice” was held on August 27, 2018 by G-Hub and the International Master of Environmental Policy Program of Duke University and Duke Kunshan University. The seminar shared the case study of Antarctic and Yellow Sea ecosystems, and considering the background of climate change, the principles, methods and practices of the construction of large-scale MPAs were discussed. G-hub has complied the report based on the presentations, hoping to promote the learning and exchange among those concerned about marine protection in China.
