The Ocean’s Climate Memory: A Story of Humanity’s Responsibility

Hendon, London Sep 5, 2025  – ‘When the Ocean Forgets’: Climate Author Shameem Kazmi Explores the Ocean’s Retention and Humanity’s Accountability

The ocean possesses memory. This critical message lies at the heart of When the Ocean Forgets, the latest publication by Shameem Kazmi, an acclaimed business leader, climate author, and Honorary Professor of Practice.

Kazmi is recognized for his capacity to translate intricate science into actionable strategies and compelling narratives that inspire tangible results. With extensive global executive experience in research and innovation, he bridges rigorous climate science with corporate sustainability practices and human-centric stories that resonate across boardrooms, educational institutions, and communities.

Central to his new book is the potent concept of “ocean memory.” Just as the ocean stores heat, carbon, and nutrients over centuries, it also bears the lasting impression of human activities: greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, and over-extraction. The consequences are evident today: rising sea levels, widespread marine heatwaves, dwindling fish populations, and inconsistent rainfall patterns.

By conceptualizing the ocean as a living record of our collective decisions, Kazmi connects scientific understanding with moral responsibility. He challenges policymakers, academics, NGOs, and the general public to act decisively, acknowledging that the impact of our choices will persist within the ocean for generations to come.

When the Ocean Forgets is more than just a book; it is a powerful summons to action, urging societies to recognize the climate narrative already ingrained in our waters and to forge a more resilient future.
