Ocean data webinars for the UN Ocean Decade

With this in mind, the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (UNESCO) has identified 10 ocean-related challenges to focus research that will help lead to more sustainable use of oceans and marine resources.

In this context, EUMETSAT, one of the key contributors to the Copernicus Programme, is jointly organising a series of ocean webinars in partnership with other European entities involved in the collection and delivery of marine data, such as the Copernicus Marine Service (implemented by Mercator Ocean International),the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). The webinars also involve the early career ocean professionals (ECOP) programme, and the UN Ocean Decade Coordination Office. 

These webinars will focus on how European initiatives and data from Copernicus and other data sources can contribute to the UN Ocean Decade goals of sustainable use and protection of our oceans.

The webinar series will be structured through a user-driven approach. During the first webinar, participants will learn about the range of data that is available and have the opportunity to indicate the topics they would like to see covered in the upcoming sessions and the challenges they face in accessing marine data. The series is suitable for an audience with diverse backgrounds.

By taking part, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to access marine data through different platforms and contribute to the protection and sustainable use of oceans and marine resources.
