Global Ecosystem for Ocean Solutions (GEOS)

Global Ecosystem for Ocean Solutions (GEOS) 1920 1272 Ocean Decade

Lead institution:

Ocean Visions and Future Seas – United States of America (USA)

GEOS will develop and deploy a series of equitable, durable, and scalable ocean-based solutions for addressing climate change and Ocean Decade’s challenges.

It will achieve this through three synergistic mechanisms: the GEOS Network made up of researchers, engineers, innovators, investors, decision-makers, and others, which will co-design the GEOS Task Forces for the co-creation of solution-delivering projects, and the GEOS Innovation Engine that will prototype and deploy those solutions. GEOS initial projects focus on ocean-based carbon dioxide removal, providing adaptation tools to coastal communities, and improving ocean-based human health, with further projects to be developed throughout the Ocean Decade.

Start Date: 18/05/2021
End Date: 31/12/2030
