PRESS ROOM
The OA Alliance brings together governments and organizations from across the globe to increase ambition for climate action and transform response to climate-ocean change.
We focus on ocean acidification because it is a politically unaccounted for consequence of carbon emissions on our ocean and is central to global climate action, marine governance and equity.
The following resources are designed to support members of the press with key information, story resources, and media contacts.

OA alliance short film releasE
The OA Alliance has partnered with LUMA Storytelling to create a short film, “Changing Waters: Time for Action on Ocean Acidification,“ featuring OA Alliance members’ stories and experiences tackling ocean acidification and climate-ocean change in North America, Latin America, and the Pacific Island Region.
Filmed in Washington State, Colombia, and Fiji, this character-led short film follows real individuals from the government, indigenous communities, the seafood industry, and scientists who are responding to the accelerating impacts of ocean acidification and calling for action.
The piece aims to inspire broader awareness of this work and accelerate action at a critical moment for climate policy and financing.
The premier of “Changing Waters: Time for Action on Ocean Acidification" will take place at the upcoming UN Climate Meeting COP30, occurring November 10-22 in Belem, Brazil.
Premiere dates and times:
IN- PERSON: November 17 between 5:00pm-5:50pm local time at the Blue Moana Pacific Pavilion, COP30 Belem Brazil.
VIRTUAL: November 19 between 12:00pm-1:30pm local time at the Virtual Ocean Pavilion. Register for the virtual premiere here.
