The ocean holds a vast quantity of carbon, with fifty times the amount present in the atmosphere. The most recent IPCC report has identified insufficient understanding of how biological activity influences carbon storage as an obstacle to accurately predicting whether this reservoir is robust to climate change. We still have major uncertainties in our model predictions for how the amount of carbon stored in the ocean will change over the coming century. The BIO-Carbon programme sets out to improve our understanding of how marine organisms affect the ocean's ability to store carbon from the Earth's atmosphere. This is critical at a time when nations are moving towards net zero policies to address escalating concerns about the impact of climate change. This proposal will ensure that the programme delivers its desired aim of significantly enhancing our ability to predict the fate of this important ocean service to mankind, building links globally to bring a truly international focus onto this important topic.

海洋中含有大量的碳，是大气中碳含量的50倍。IPCC最近的报告指出，对生物活动如何影响碳储存的理解不足，是准确预测碳储存是否对气候变化具有强健性的一个障碍。对于下个世纪海洋中碳储量的变化，我们的模型预测仍然存在很大的不确定性。生物碳计划旨在提高我们对海洋生物如何影响海洋从地球大气中储存碳的能力的理解。在各国为解决对气候变化影响日益加剧的担忧而采取净零排放政策之际，这一点至关重要。这项建议将确保该方案实现其预期目标，即大大提高我们预测这一对人类重要的海洋服务的命运的能力，在全球建立联系，使这一重要问题真正得到国际关注。
