Abstract

Most recently signed economic, political, and social agreements such as the Paris Agreement, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, or the FAO’s Blue Growth Initiative have as common objective the strengthening of the global response to the threat of climate change holding the increase in the global average temperature well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. Aside of the implementation of ambitious plans on adaptation and mitigation, our ability to contain climate change within safe limits depends largely on the evolution of the ocean circulation and state. The increased awareness of the rapid degradation of the ocean and its importance to the future of humanity is the result of decades of ocean research that has finally been embodied by the proclamation of a Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030) by the United Nations General Assembly. In the framework of this program, there is an extraordinary opportunity to connect ocean sciences more directly with policy-makers, business, and civil society around a program of joint research and technological innovation [1].
