The ocean is the mother of humanity, and even of the Earth itself. It not only affords abundant resources but also selflessly absorbs vast amounts of human waste. The ocean absorbs over 90% of the heat from the atmosphere, taking in the greenhouse gases we humans produce. This excess energy will eventually tip the balance into crisis. While we go about our daily lives, the ocean has been silently bearing the brunt. Understanding the ocean and treating it with care—by simply living more sustainably to protect the Earth—is something each of us can do.
“The Ocean Will…” exhibition has its feet in the ocean and its eyes on the horizon—the future. As we face the threat of climate change, it gets us thinking, inviting us to embrace the opportunities that may lie ahead, new missions and actions. The exhibition’s four main themes are: 1. global climate observation, 2. marine biodiversity, 3. marine energy generation, and 4. how to achieve carbon neutrality. Through these four key areas, the exhibition aims to prompt reflection on action towards sustainability. The exhibition layout leads one towards a global perspective and an exploration of the world’s oceans, both the knowns and the unknowns. It aligns with the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Taiwan’s 2050 Net-Zero emissions target. Through stirring stories and informative displays, it aims to inspire and educate.
