The Indian Ocean: more than a backdrop for spectacular sunsets

March 27, 2025

While it’s smaller than the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, the Indian Ocean packs a punch when it comes to affecting our weather and the world’s climate. Having warmed faster since the 1950s than any other ocean, major environmental changes are occurring in the Indian Ocean. Understanding the role of a changing climate alongside non-climate pressures are important considerations for those managing the region’s vulnerable resources.
