Initiative : Marine Biodiversity & Ocean Health Breakthrough Toolkit - 2026 Edition

The transition to a low-carbon maritime sector offers a unique opportunity to restore and regenerate ocean ecosystems. Yet, for shipping companies decarbonisation is often treated as an isolated goal.

This Toolkit bridges that gap. It supports shipping companies, policymakers, port authorities, financiers, and civil society actors in identifying opportunities for implementing biodiversity outcomes within decarbonisation efforts. The MBOH Breakthrough Toolkit supports the delivery of the Ocean Breakthroughs, contributing to the global objective of protecting and restoring marine ecosystems by 2030. It highlights the ocean’s dual role as a climate regulator and a biodiversity powerhouse, reinforcing that progress to net-zero is deeply intertwined with ocean health.

The SSI hosts the MBOH Breakthrough, advised by the United Nations Foundation and Climate Champions Team. The Breakthrough aims to reduce shipping’s impact on marine biodiversity and ocean health by 30% by 2030.
