SOLAS co-sponsored side event at #UNOC3 "The Ocean and Planetary Boundaries: Unlocking a Deeper Vision for the Earth’s Future" explored how to extend the Planetary Boundaries framework into the ocean’s interior.

SOLAS co-sponsored side event at #UNOC3: Integrated Ocean Carbon Research (IOC-R):
A vision primed for implementation

IOC-R working group is releasing a new report that provides a robust and actionable foundation for addressing the challenges of ocean carbon research.

BEPSII General Meeting 2025 took place in Barga, Italy and online from 14 to 16 March. It was an energising meeting with lots of new ideas and ECRs taking leading roles in specific actions. The Event Report on this meeting is here: bit.ly/3SFT9MX

Join us at the SOLAS co-sponsored side evnt at #UNOC2025: The ocean and planetary boundaries: Unlocking a deeper vision for the Earth’s future.
Date/time: 12 June, 17.30-18.45
Location: European Digital Ocean Pavilion, La Baleine
Registration: we-are-the-ocean.com/register

As we wrap up the One Ocean Science Congress #OOSC, the message is clear: the need for science-based action for the ocean is urgent.

SCOR will join the community of scientists carrying this message into the #UNOC3 next week. Review SCOR-related events at scor-int.org/2025/05/28/s...
