 | United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030 On 5 December 2017, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2021 to 2030 the “Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development”, thus creating historic momentum for change. Ocean science has evolved along with society’s needs and supported new partnerships. Now society requires ocean science’s contribution to solutions for the development of blue economy and equitable access. All parts of the ocean are connected, and all nations large and small need the knowledge and capacity to understand, observe and manage the ocean. The “Ocean Decade” is a framework for creating and strengthening connections among communities working to study, conserve and sustainably use the ocean and its resources. The Ocean Decade focuses on developing the global scientific capacity to generate and share knowledge that directly contributes to meeting the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and other relevant global legal and policy frameworks. |
 | The Mega-Delta program The Mega-Delta program is based on the “Mega-Delta Workgroup” of Future Earth Coasts. It aims to provide solutions to the problems faced by different types of deltas in different regions with different levels of social-economic development. All the deltas are faced with challenges caused by climate change and human activities. Thus, combined efforts from different organizations and multi-disciplines are required to fulfil the task. This program was listed as one of the first round of the 65 actions endorsed under the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. |
