UN Decade of Ocean Science (2021-2030) announced
The United Nations has proclaimed a Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) to support efforts to reverse the cycle of decline in ocean health and gather ocean stakeholders worldwide behind a common framework that will ensure ocean science can fully support countries in creating improved conditions for sustainable development of the Ocean.
The Objectives of the Decade will be to:
– Identify required knowledge for sustainable development
– Generate comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the ocean
– Increase the use of ocean knowledge
As mandated by the UN General Assembly, the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO will coordinate the Decade’s preparatory process, inviting the global ocean community to plan for the next ten years in ocean science and technology to deliver the Decade’s objectives.
