Description: 

This paper explores on the potential of deep-sea as a holistic nature-based solution to achieve international policy objectives. A suite of management instruments is available that could enable governance alignment of ecosystem services and biodiversity in addition to climate mitigation. This paper explores the opportunities the governance of the deep sea provides to mitigate climate change, and highlights the potential for managing impacts such as mining and other important ecosystem services such as provisioning services.
