About

The Roundtable on Science and Technology for Sustainability, in collaboration with the Ocean Studies Board (OSB), convened a virtual discussion on the blue economy and sustainability in our pandemic-modified world.

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the oceans provide significant economic benefits, which accounted for 1.8 percent ($372.8 billion) of national gross domestic product (GDP) in 2018. As the World Bank defines the blue economy as “sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods and jobs, and ocean ecosystem health,” the need to balance the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainability related to oceans is a key element of the blue economy.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected ocean resource sustainability activities in a variety of ways. For example, with the global response to COVID-19, consumption of single-use plastic may have grown by 250-300 percent in the U.S., and companies have less incentive to use recycled materials as plastics have become less expensive with a collapse in the oil price.

Goals of this virtual session were to discuss challenges and opportunities for a robust blue economy in the ocean-related sectors in the U.S. in the context of the pandemic, with special attention to marine plastic pollution, recycling of materials, and other relevant aspects, encouraging active participation of the private sector, young people, and underrepresented groups, and enhancing global collaboration. Discussions will inform OSB and NOAA efforts to coordinate U.S. contributions to the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.

About

The most recent meeting of the Roundtable on Science and Technology for Sustainability was held on November 12-13, 2015 in Washington, DC. As the second event of the Roundtable’s 2015-2016 initiative, the November 12 Roundtable meeting evaluated economic and social indicators and metrics in the context of urban sustainability. The purpose of the session was to assess what indicators and metrics have been found to be the most useful for promoting sustainability as well as identify knowledge gaps related to developing indicators that integrate across the ecological, social, and economic sciences. During the meeting, panelists from government, academia, nongovernmental organizations, and philanthropic community examined examples of select social and economic indicators and metrics that incorporated various disciplines, particularly those being used to inform policy and action related to sustainability practice and research. A published summary of the event will be issued in early 2016.

Our dinner speaker was Katherine Wallman, Chief Statistician at the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, who described the U.S. coordination of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicator selection and monitoring of progress.

The second day featured presentations addressing issues related to developing indicators and metrics for United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. To support the goals, the UN is preparing to catalyze a global partnership for sustainable development data, including plans to build capacity of countries to collect data to monitor and evaluate progress on the SDGs. Given the broad nature of the SDGs, it is critical that there will be a wide availability of well-defined indicators firmly grounded in science, with data that can support them, to underpin targets for each of the Goals. The Roundtable heard presentations of examples of current UN and USAID efforts related to UN SDGs process.

For the session on NRC updates, Roundtable members reviewed and provided suggestions on current and planned STS program activities. Roundtable members raised suggestions for future Roundtable topics and activities.
