Description:
In recognition of the Ocean’s importance “to an equitable and sustainable planet”, the United Nations have pronounced 2021-2030 as the Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. What will “the Ocean we need for the future we want” look like? And how can we transform human behavior to become more sustainable? And what are the expected impacts on the ocean. Realizing that the ocean dimension of sustainable development should be underpinned by inclusive knowledge, the Ocean Decade identifies ten challenges to deliver “the science we need for the Ocean we want”.The UN Ocean Decade recognises seven societal outcomes and ten challenges. In order to facilitate progress the community is asked to proposed global decade programmes which themselves are supported by several more regional or topical projects. Ideally these actions involve the global science community in a interdisciplinary manner and engage in co-design and co-production of knowledge generation that enables science based actions.A key aspect of the UN Ocean Decade is to deliver against the UN's stated ambition 'to leave no one behind'. This is a call to action for training, capacity exchange and ocean education and literacy.
