Location: Carpenter Conference Room (249), Rubenstein LibraryThe South China Sea faces a serious problem because of the mounting environmental degradation due to climate change, ocean acidification, plastics pollution, reclamations, fisheries collapse, coral reef destruction and increased maritime traffic. The failure to resolve the South China Sea crisis is a harbinger of ecological disaster. Environmental cooperation remains the only viable pathway for addressing marine environmental decline in the disputed South China Sea and science diplomacy can establish a starting point for regional cooperation and lead to a much needed pause in rising tension. For Southeast Asian claimants, environmental protection and scientific research can be viewed as confidence-building mechanisms for engaging China and developing person-to-person connections that can prove impactful both for marine ecosystems and wider regional issues.
