The most recent comprehensive assessment carried out by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has concluded that "Human influence on the climate system is clear," a headline statement that was approved by all governments in consensus. This influence will have long-lasting consequences for ecosystems, and the resulting impacts will continue to be felt millennia from now. Although the terrestrial impacts of climate change are readily apparent now and have received widespread public attention, the effects of climate change on the oceans have been relatively invisible. However, the world ocean provides a number of crucial services that are of global significance, all of which come with an increasing price caused by human activities. This needs to be taken into account when considering adaptation to and mitigation of anthropogenic climate change.
政府间气候变化专门委员会最近进行的一次全面评估得出结论，“人类对气候系统的影响是明确的”，这一标题陈述得到了所有政府的一致认可。这种影响将对生态系统产生持久的后果，其产生的影响将持续数千年。虽然气候变化对陆地的影响现在已经很明显，并引起了广泛的公众关注，但气候变化对海洋的影响相对来说还不那么明显。然而，世界海洋提供了许多具有全球意义的关键服务，所有这些服务都因人类活动而带来了越来越高的代价。在考虑适应和缓解人为气候变化时，这一点需要考虑进去。
