Description

Innovations in ocean governance for sustainable and equitable blue futures. Oceans play a critical role in combating climate change and biodiversity loss, while supporting global economies and livelihoods. As the world increasingly relies on oceans for energy, food, and carbon storage, ocean governance faces new challenges. This project explores how innovative governance models can transform ocean management to be more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable. By examining trends such as Nature Positive approaches, Indigenous co-governance and deliberative methods of engagement, the research aims to identify new pathways to addressing the multiple planetary crises impacting our oceans and rising inequalities linked to environmental issues, as well as enhance public trust in ocean governance..
