About

Join the U.S. National Committee for the UN Ocean Decade on June 22 from 2:00PM - 4:00PM EDT for a webinar on key themes from their recently-released report, "Cross-Cutting Themes for U.S. Contributions to the UN Ocean Decade."

Explore exciting themes that can galvanize action and inspire transformative, cross-disciplinary, and multi-generational participation in the UN Ocean Decade. Two foundational themes undergird how to go about science: An Inclusive and Equitable Ocean calls for the involvement of a diverse and representative ocean community, and An Ocean of Data recognizes the shift toward open access for data that is collected. Four topical themes: The Ocean Revealed, The Restored and Sustainable Ocean, Ocean Solutions for Climate Resilience, and Healthy Urban Seas - represent promising areas for research investments that are consistent both with the UN Ocean Decade Outcomes and U.S. ocean priorities. The Youth Advisory Council for the UN Ocean Decade will also be premiering a new video inspired by the report.
