  abstract = {{T}he biological carbon pump ({BCP}) sequesters vast amounts of carbon in the ocean, but its importance for conservation, climate finance and international policy has not been properly assessed. {H}ere, using spatial analysis and financial valuation of the {BCP} service, we estimate that, annually, the {BCP} adds 2.81 {G}t{C} (range 2.44-3.53 {G}t{C}) to the ocean with a storage time of at least 50 years (+/- 25 years). {T}his ecosystem service is worth {US}$545 billion per year ({US}$471-694 billion) in areas beyond national jurisdiction and {US}$383 billion per year ({US}$336-471 billion) within all exclusive economic zones, where the sum of its discounted values for 2023-2030 is {US}$2.2 trillion (range {US}$1.9-2.7 trillion). {T}hese results quantify the climate and economic importance of the {BCP} and the important role of large ocean states in carbon sequestration. {T}hese findings can support discussions in climate finance and in the {COP} global stocktake for climate action.},
