Kick-Off Meeting for the Southern Ocean UN Decade – 9th July 2021

Following the publication of our report on Southern Ocean priorities for the next 10 years, we are pleased to announce that the Southern Ocean Task Force will be hosting a Kick-off meeting for the Southern Ocean UN Decade online on the 9th July 2021.

This webinar will gather speakers from the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO and members of the Southern Ocean Task Force. The meeting will provide you with an overview of the Southern Ocean contribution to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. You will know at what stage we are in the Southern Ocean process and we will let you know when and how you can get involved.

If you are interested in joining the Southern Ocean process, don’t miss the opportunity to learn when and how you can get involved!

To accommodate both Western and Eastern participants, we will be hosting two sessions:

• Session 1 at 07:00 UTC - Register here
• Session 2 at 17:00 UTC - Register here

If you haven’t already done so, can still fill our survey and involvement forms to provide us with your insights into how Southern Ocean science should evolve over the coming years to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Kind regards,
Annemie Janssen on behalf of the SOdecade Task Force
