  1. Earth Observationsin Service ofthe2030 Agenda forSustainableDevelopment Michael Ott, IOC GEO 2017 – SideEvent Tuesday, 24 October 2017 8:30-12:30, RoomHemisphere A

  2. IOC Building knowledge and capacity • the only intergovernmental organization with a specific mandate in marine scientific research, services and capacity building in all of the world’s ocean basins • the competent international organization for marine science (UNCLOS – United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea) • Marine Scientific Research • IOC helped establish Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network • Transfer of Marine Technology • preserve marine environment - exploit / explore resources • prevent ocean-related hazards - safe navigation • focal point for • observations - science - capacity development • data exchange - services - sustainable development

  3. Sustainable Development Goals What role for the IOC of UNESCO? The workof IOC of UNESCO isrelevant to 13 out of 17 Sustainable Development Goals

  4. Role of IOC Ocean Acidification & Technology Transfer • Capacity Development • IOC Guidelines for TMT • Global Ocean Observing System • TPOS2020, MESCAT, PACWAVE • Framework for Ocean Observing • integration across Panels / networks • readiness levels for technology • standards / best practices • AtlantOS • web-based monitoring tools • capacities and gaps analyses • OSSEs, costing studies • new sensors; tech road map • Blue Print • integrating multidisciplinary data; sustained funding, tech transfer

  5. Global Ocean Science Report • published 2017 • first global overview of existing ocean science capabilities • SDG14 monitoring tool: target 14.a • areas examined: • infrastructure - science productivity • human resources - financial investment • science collaboration • ocean science categories: • marine ecosystem functions & processes • ocean and climate • ocean health • human health and wellbeing • blue growth • ocean crust and marine geohazards • ocean technology For more informationaboutthe Global Ocean Science Report: https://en.unesco.org/gosr

  6. International Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development • proposed Ocean Decade (2021-2030) • unanimously endorsed at IOC • now at UN General Assembly • key objectives: • build inventory of marine resources & identify opportunities to manage them in a sustainable manner • better quantitative knowledge of ocean bottom & water column ecosystems • understand impacts of cumulative stressors on the ocean • share knowledge & develop capacity via transfer of marine technology, for economic benefits of SIDS and LDCs For more informationabouttheproposedOceanDecade: http://on.unesco.org/2kO0cTf

  7. proposed Ocean Decade PotentialOutcomes SMART Cables Marine Spatial Planning • Better data / info about the state of the ocean • Greater scientific collaboration • Improved ocean management • Innovativetechnology for sustainabledevelopment • Observation-based Service delivery mechanisms • Science / policyplatforms • More oceansciencecapacity • Strongerand more sustainableoceaneconomy
