Ocean Observing Co-Design: Evolving Ocean Observing for a Sustainable Future

Ocean Observing Co-Design: Evolving Ocean Observing for a Sustainable Future

Ocean Observing Co-Design: Evolving Ocean Observing for a Sustainable Future 1920 1272 Ocean Decade

Lead institution:

The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) through lead sponsor of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO – France

Readily available ocean information is a foundational element needed to achieve the ocean we want by 2030.

With fit-for-purpose and timely observations, we can track the current state of the ocean, enable skillful predictions and warnings, manage ocean resources, empower society to adapt to change, and ultimately, assess the impact of action towards a sustainable ocean. Our aim is to build the process, infrastructure and tools for co-design, creating an international capacity to evolve a truly integrated ocean observing system, matching agile observing and modelling capability with requirements. This will provide the largest possible impact for investment.

Start Date: 15/01/2021
End Date: 31/12/2030
