Sturla delves into the ocean’s impact on history, climate, and geopolitics while blending scientific rigor with personal insights. His book, The Ocean, is at once a thematic journey as it explores how the ocean has shaped societies, driven global power dynamics, and a major influencer of our climate and future. Through this book, Sturla offers an ultimate reflection on how we can harmonize with this vital force to ensure a sustainable future.  \nDr Kilparti Ramakrishna, Director of Marine Policy Center and Senior Advisor to the President on Ocean and Climate Policy, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and a lead author of the Fifth Assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)  \nWith broad pen strokes Sturla Henriksen shares his love and insights for our oceans. Sprinkled with enlightening detail he walks us through the crucial role oceans play in many of mankind’s key challenges, but also how it provides us with solutions and hope. Sturla has a unique background as a macro economist, for many years he was a very appreciated CEO of the Norwegian Shipowner ’s Association and lately he is the UN special advisor for Oceans. Understanding the mechanisms of the market economy, shipping industry and current political environment, he does not shy away from contextualizing the issues at hand from an existential and moral perspective, which makes this book so relevant and important.  \nCarl-Johan Hagman, President and CEO, NYK Group Europe  \nOne cannot draft, negotiate, interpret, or implement law and policy in a vacuum. It is imperative to understand the context. If you have ever wondered,‘Why is the Ocean...’ from scientific, historical, geopolitical, societal, legal, economic, and cultural perspectives, this is the book you want to read. Henriksen also reveals the unprecedented degradation of the Ocean and explains why a healthy Ocean is the solution to many of our problems. This book is not just informative; it's an immersive experience, as if the author is sitting next to us, answering our questions with fascinating facts, personal experiences, and insights.  \nHiroko Muraki Gottlieb, Representative for the Ocean and Head of Delegation to the High Seas Treaty negotiations, International Council of Environmental Law, and Associate, Department for Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University  \nA prominent corporate leader and a UN expert in ocean affairs, Sturla Henriksen has been an insider or a direct witness of the many dramatic stories that he so elegantly describes in his book. Ocean health, governance and economics, painful relations with homo sapiens – the author presents these complicated issues to the reader in an informed and emotional manner. Gradually but systematically, individual stories coalesce to a grand vision, not only about the ocean, but also about us, humans – our destiny, moral, and future. Through Sturla Henriksen’s literary talent the ocean teaches us that we need to be more humane and considerably less selfish to secure our common future.  \nVladimir Ryabinin, Executive Secretary of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC/UNESCO) and Assistant Director-General of UNESCO 2015–2024  \nThis book touches our blue planet with a cherishing pen, guiding the path toward international cooperation in good ocean governance, even as the oceans hold a troubled past, where disputes have left a trail of sorrow. Earth remains the only planet humanity can inhabit so far, and this book illustrates approaches to protect our blue planet, helping to build confidence in a sustainable future.  \nDr Yang Jian, Senior Fellow and former Executive Vice-Chairman, Shanghai Institutes for International Studies (SIIS)  \nUnlocking the mysteries, the history, and curr","cbCaiigA0WB5Ov9i","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiigA0WB5Ov9i","pdf",5364471,1,702,"English","en",105,"# Ocean’s Role in Shaping Civilization\n## History, Climate, and Geopolitics\n## Ocean Health, Degradation, and the Case for Protection\n# Governance, Economics, and Global Cooperation\n## Law and Policy Context\n## Maritime Security Threats and Peace Stability\n# Toward a Sustainable Future","[{\"question\":\"How does the book describe the ocean’s influence on human history and global power?\",\"answer\":\"It traces how the ocean has shaped societies and driven global power dynamics, linking scientific and historical perspectives to present-day challenges.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the book say about ocean degradation and why it matters?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights unprecedented degradation and explains why restoring a healthy ocean is essential for solving many interconnected problems.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the book connect ocean governance with international cooperation and policy action?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes that effective law and policy must be grounded in context and presents international cooperation in ocean governance as a pathway to a sustainable future.\"}]","The Ocean -
