Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The increasing risks associated with El Nino, such as intense cyclones and marine pollution, underscore the need for greater investment in ocean sciences and regional cooperation. This lack of research investment limits the capacity to monitor and mitigate climate-related risks to maritime activities and food security.

Who could feel it

Possible knock-on effects

These are possibilities Brind reasoned out, not predictions, and not advice. Most are not stated in any report.

  • Food and Agriculture OrganizationSpeculative

    Climate risks like erratic rainfall and marine pollution could threaten food security, potentially increasing demand for aid or resources.

  • World Meteorological OrganizationSpeculative

    The call for greater investment in ocean sciences could increase mandate and funding pressure on the World Meteorological Organization.

  • Indian NavySpeculative

    The strategic need for ocean science investment due to climate risks could influence the Indian Navy's operational budget and resource allocation.

  • MauritiusSpeculative

    Increased regional cooperation focus due to shared climate and ocean risks might influence regional trade and security contracts.
