On the occasion of the second United Nations Conference on the Ocean<\/a>, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has launched the new State of the Ocean Report, which provides a concise and accessible overview of the current state of the ocean and mobilizes global society to take action \u2013 and monitor progress \u2013 towards global goals.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The first Report on the State of the Ocean<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The first report was published as a pilot edition with contributions from over 100 experts in all major fields of marine science, including acidification, deoxygenation, pollution, tsunami early warning, marine spatial planning, data management and enabling infrastructure. Future editions will also invite contributions from other UN agencies, following the model of the State of the Climate Report,<\/a> published regularly by the World Meteorological Organization.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Report concisely collects the latest knowledge on the state of the ocean \u2013 from pollution to biodiversity -. A tool that contains all the key information that policy makers and business leaders need to make informed decisions on marine protection and maritime spatial planning. To organize and make the information easily accessible, the publication follows the 10 challenges of the Decade of the Sea.<\/a><\/p>\n

This pilot edition of the State of the Ocean Report was developed by IOC-UNESCO<\/a> to demonstrate the feasibility of keeping the world updated on the current state of the ocean. It is intended to complement other assessments, such as the World Ocean Assessment and the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).<\/p>\n
