Climate change poses challenges to achieving sustainable ocean development, with particularly acute risk posed to coastal states and marginalized coastal users. International efforts to address these challenges include the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement and the UN 2030 Agenda. Further, some countries are refocusing their ocean programs to align with blue economy strategies globally. We look to Canada, an ocean nation developing a blue economy strategy, to examine the climate-responsiveness of their oceans policies. First, we identify climate change impacts on ecosystem services affecting each of Canada’s coasts through a document scan. Then, through a structured policy analysis, we examine whether Canadian fisheries and oceans policy are responsive to these impacts. Finally, we discuss how current policies do or do not address climate impacts on oceans and coasts in Canada, and how this focus, or lack thereof, will have an outsized impact on certain ocean sectors (e.g., inshore fisheries). Our findings show a policy landscape largely dependent on climate change action promoted in a few broad federal initiatives, with oceans-related climate action operating through area-based conservation measures and research and monitoring initiatives. We conclude with recommendations for Canada and similar ocean states to integrate climate and ocean policies across federal departments and ocean sectors by centering vulnerable coastal users in policy formulation. Given Canada’s rapid development of a blue economy strategy as a new governing framework for oceans policy, we recommend the strategy be guided by long-term sustainability goals that prioritize environmental and social sustainability over short-term economic growth.

气候变化给实现可持续海洋发展带来了挑战，对沿海国家和边缘化的沿海用户构成了特别严重的风险。应对这些挑战的国际努力包括 2015 年巴黎气候协定和联合国 2030 年议程。此外，一些国家正在重新调整其海洋计划，以与全球蓝色经济战略保持一致。我们期待加拿大，一个制定蓝色经济战略的海洋国家，来检查其海洋政策的气候响应能力。首先，我们通过文件扫描确定气候变化对影响加拿大每个海岸的生态系统服务的影响。然后，通过结构化的政策分析，我们检查加拿大渔业和海洋政策是否对这些影响做出反应。最后，我们讨论了当前的政策如何解决或不解决气候对加拿大海洋和海岸的影响，以及这种关注或缺乏如何对某些海洋部门（例如近海渔业）产生巨大影响。我们的研究结果表明，政策格局在很大程度上取决于一些广泛的联邦倡议中推动的气候变化行动，与海洋相关的气候行动通过基于区域的保护措施以及研究和监测倡议来运作。最后，我们建议加拿大和类似的海洋国家通过将脆弱的沿海用户集中在政策制定中来整合联邦部门和海洋部门的气候和海洋政策。鉴于加拿大将蓝色经济战略作为新的海洋政策管理框架迅速发展，
