1. Ocean Acidification and Climate Change Fang Jianmeng Deputy Administrator State Oceanic Administration of China

2. What China have done? The excessive emission of man-made CO 2 has been regarded as the main factor in causing the climate change. Principle: Common but Differentiated Responsbilities Focus: Transform economic development model Achivements: CO 2 in 2013 --- ↓ 28.56%

3. What China is doing? China reiterate the commitment to implementing the domestic climate-change policy, making headways in the sustainable development as well as transforming the economic model to the green, low-carbon and climate-adapted one.

4. What China is going to do? 2020: per unit GDP CO 2 emission ↓ 40% — 45% （ compare to 2005 level ） 2030: per unit GDP CO 2 emission ↓ 60% — 65% （ compare to 2005 level ） China's CO 2 emission is expected to reach the peak before 2030. We will work hard to reach the peak as early as possible.

5. What SOA is doing ? Marine monitoring and marine scientific study Ocean-acidification response as part of the “National Thirteenth Five-year Plan” Example:  Long-term observation campaign on the ocean- air CO 2 flux  Key project of “Building China’s Offshore Ocean Acidification Monitoring System”

6. Some facts about ocean acidification Reality: Surface sea water is turning acid But: Major control mechanism and critical stages of ocean acidification development? Future potential impacts of ocean acidification on the marine ecosystem? Acidification developments in the submarine area, especially in the deep-sea water?

7. What we need to do? More monitoring data about the whole section of the ocean around the globe International cooperation are called for in building the global all-dimensional ocean-acidification monitoring and observation network.

8. Lead by Example In 2014 APEC Fourth Ocean-related ministerial conference in Xiamen, China, APEC members undertake to encourage collaborations within APEC on identifying, monitoring, addressing and preparing for impacts of climate change, ocean acidification and habitat change on ocean resources including on fisheries and aquaculture.

9. Thank you!
