Want to get involved with the #UNOceanDecade? The next Call for Actions has just launched 💙 🌊 Learn more by joining the official Q&A sessions on the 29th November and check out our FAQs for general Decade information: https://lnkd.in/ed8cJx2v
📢 Call for Decade Actions No. 08/2024 is officially OPEN! Building on the success of previous Calls, this Call for Decade Actions focuses on addressing some of the top priority needs from the #Vision2030 process, galvanising new contributions and new projects to support and strengthen existing Decade Actions and coordination structures. Partners are invited to request endorsement under the Ocean Decade for transformative Decade Actions that contribute to our vision of delivering the science we need for the ocean we want. The priority focus areas for this Call for Decade Actions are: 🌊 Coastal resilience 🌊 Society's relationship with the ocean 🌊 The link between ocean and human health However, we will also be accepting initiatives addressing other pressing ocean issues. ➡️ You will find more information in the Call for Decade Actions Guidance Note here: https://lnkd.in/etuk6EKY Please note that each part of the Call has different deadlines and different timelines for review and decision making. ❓ We'll hold two virtual Q&A sessions, both on 29 November 2024: ⏲️ 07:30 – 08:30 UTC: https://lnkd.in/eRQg4eyy ⏲️ 13:30 – 14:30 UTC: https://lnkd.in/exYmkgXW Join the world's biggest #OceanScience movement: apply now to be part of the Ocean Decade!
The Plankton Manifesto - A call for Plankton-Based Solutions to address The Triple Planetary Crisis (biodiversity, climate & pollution) Despite their immense importance, plankton are under threat and remain poorly understood. The Plankton Manifesto calls for immediate global recognition and action to protect these vital organisms. It advocates for the adoption of "Plankton-Based Solutions" to benefit humanity and the environment, leveraging advances in DNA sequencing, bioinformatics, satellite monitoring, AI-assisted image analysis, and other cutting-edge technologies to enhance our understanding and stewardship of plankton. The Plankton Manifesto is a result of a collaborative effort, led by the United Nations Global Compact, that involved 30 international experts from leading institutions and industries worldwide. It will seek endorsements at key global environmental conferences, including COP29 on Climate, COP16 on Biodiversity, and the United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice, France, in June 2025. https://lnkd.in/eeZZvt5M

📢 Just published: The report "Ambition, Action, Impact: the Ocean Decade Pathway to 2030 - Consolidated Outcomes of the Vision 2030 Process" identifies science, knowledge, capacity, resources, and infrastructure priorities that are needed to achieve a successful Ocean Decade. The #OceanDecade aims to transform the way that ocean science and knowledge is generated and used, and thus precipitate a shift from the ocean we have to the ocean we want by 2030. The Vision 2030 process, implemented over a period of twelve months in the lead-up to the 2024 Ocean Decade Conference, was centred around the ten Ocean Decade Challenges – which represent the most immediate and pressing needs for ocean knowledge – as a participatory and iterative process aimed at setting a tailored and specific strategic ambition, or ‘end goal’, and associated milestones for each Challenge. ➡️ Launched at the #AAORIAForum2024 today, this report summarises the key findings and outcomes of this process, and outlines a pathway to deliver the science we need for the ocean we want by 2030. Download it here: https://lnkd.in/grntB9WS 🤝 We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Vision 2030 Working Group members for their invaluable contributions to this important Ocean Decade process.

Happening now: the All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance Forum in Ottawa, Canada! 🌊🇨🇦 This event, endorsed by the #OceanDecade, brings together ocean experts for two days of discussions to highlight opportunities for collaborative ocean science to achieve a sustainable and healthy Atlantic Ocean. Speaking at today's opening session, Alison Clausen, #OceanDecade Deputy Coordinator, announced that UNESCO Ocean has been recognised as the first formal supporter of the All-Atlantic Declaration, in light of a shared commitment to promoting the use of ocean science and knowledge for the sustainable management of the Atlantic Ocean. 👉 Read the All-Atlantic Declaration: https://ow.ly/T0Tl50THTb0 👉 Find the full programme of the #AAORIAForum24 here: https://ow.ly/xcvL50THTb1 👉 Watch the livestream: https://ow.ly/rfxK50THTb2
