Join the Ocean Decade at COP26
The Ocean Decade provides a framework that convenes across geographies, across scales and across disciplines to co-design and co-deliver the knowledge needed to fill critical knowledge gaps and develop ocean-based solutions to meet planetary challenges such as climate change.
Generation and use of such knowledge will require a robust enabling environment with adequate resources, capacity and access to data and information.
Join our side events at the UNFCCC COP26 to take part in a global science movement to unlock climate action!
All events will be a mix of in-person and livestream events, although the number of seated places will be limited due to sanitary restrictions at the COP26 venue. Please keep an eye on our social for more details of the programme of each event and information on how to access streaming of the events.
