Climate Change, Ocean Pollution, and Acidification: The Application of Integrated Management Strategies within the Framework of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science
Summary
This study reviewed the impacts of climate change, ocean pollution, and acidification on marine ecosystems within the framework of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030. Integrated management strategies combining scientific research, technological innovation, and international governance were identified as essential for addressing these interconnected threats to ocean health.
As globalization accelerates, issues of climate change, ocean pollution, and acidification have become increasingly prominent, posing significant threats to marine ecosystems and human society. The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021~2030) was initiated in response, aiming to strengthen scientific research and technological innovation to explore integrated management strategies to address these challenges. This study, framed within this context, delves into the impacts of climate change, ocean pollution, and acidification on ocean health and discusses comprehensive management strategies to mitigate these impacts, including but not limited to the advancement of scientific research, the application of technological innovations, and the development of international policies and management actions. Through case studies, this research aims to demonstrate the practices and effects of implementing these strategies globally, while analyzing the difficulties and challenges encountered in the process. Suggestions for future scientific research directions and the deepening of policies and cooperation are also proposed. This study underscores the importance of integrated management strategies in the global recovery of ocean health, intending to provide references and insights for future ocean science research and policy formulation.

Global Ocean Governance and Ecological Civilization
This study examines global ocean governance frameworks and argues that achieving 'ecological civilization' requires coordinated international responses to mounting threats including climate change, ocean acidification, microplastic pollution, and overexploitation of marine resources.
The Importance of Ocean Science Diplomacy for Ocean Affairs, Global Sustainability, and the UN Decade of Ocean Science
This paper reviews the role of ocean science diplomacy in supporting sustainable ocean governance and international collaboration. Researchers examine how scientific cooperation underpins negotiations at organizations like the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission and through frameworks like UNCLOS. The study emphasizes that addressing ocean challenges, including pollution, requires strengthened science-policy partnerships across nations.
Ocean governance for human health and the role of the social sciences
This paper examines the interdependence of ocean health and human health, arguing that effective ocean governance must involve the social sciences to address the complex human behaviors and institutions driving marine degradation. Managing plastic pollution entering the ocean requires governance frameworks that integrate scientific and social knowledge.
A One Health Approach to Marine Health
This paper applies the One Health framework — which integrates human, animal, and environmental health — to the challenge of protecting marine ecosystems from climate change, plastic pollution, and overfishing. The authors argue that addressing ocean health requires interdisciplinary collaboration between public health, environmental science, and policy sectors.
Research progress in ecotoxicology of climate change coupled with marine pollutions
This review examined how rising ocean temperatures and acidification from climate change interact with marine pollutants including microplastics, finding that combined stressors often produce worse effects than either alone. The research underscores that plastic pollution cannot be addressed in isolation from the broader context of global climate change.
