On 10-12 April, the global ocean community gathered at #OceanDecade24 to showcase groundbreaking solutions to deliver the science we need for the ocean we want. Based on these insights, the Ocean Decade issued the Barcelona Statement: a crucial roadmap for the coming years which identifies the areas where ocean solutions must be accelerated. The Barcelona Statement aims to: 👉 help guide the global ocean science agenda 👉 ensure that the ocean science delivered is relevant and understood by policymakers Read it here: https://lnkd.in/e7JAREeH

At PISCES Partnership, we aim to accelerate ocean solutions and drive meaningful change. The recently issued Barcelona Statement is a crucial roadmap for the coming years, guiding the global ocean science agenda and ensuring policymakers understand the relevance of ocean science. 🌍🔬 Read the #OceanDecade24 Barcelona Statement here: #OceanDecade #Partnership #Sustainability #OceanScience

INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM CONFERENCE ON CLIMATE CHANGE - April 9.-11 https://lnkd.in/eRQpmgfD 9–11 April, 2025 Vienna, Austria At the end of the research project "Modelling museum pests, fungi and indoor climate," based at the Natural History Museum Vienna, we are organizing an international conference on climate change and its effects on museums. The presentations will cover the following topics: Theme 1 - Effects of Climate Change on Indoor Museum Climate Theme 2 - Modelling Climate Change, insect pests and fungi Theme 3 - Saving Energy and the Green Museums Theme 4 - Evaluation of Climate Corridors Climate change is one of the big challenges of the 21th century and our collections are at risk of increasing temperature and extreme weather events.

🌊 Why protect the Ocean? So the Ocean continues to protect us! Europe’s Ocean scientists launch advice for governments 🌍 Today leading European Ocean scientists launched Navigating the Future VI (NFVI) today, a publication which provides governments, policymakers and funders with robust, independent scientific advice, focusing on the critical role the Ocean plays in the wider Earth system. 🤝 Navigating the Future VI proposes the marine (natural and social) science research we need to help us address the challenges facing the planet, and with whom we need to collaborate to find solutions. 🍀 It focuses on four main themes: #Ocean and #People, Ocean and #Climate, Ocean and #Freshwater and Ocean and #Biodiversity. 👨👩👧👦 This is a flagship publication of the European Marine Board IVZW, an independent non-governmental advisory body that represents more than 10,000 marine scientists across Europe. NFVI was written by European Ocean scientists representing all EMB Member organisations (at kick off in 2022), spanning a wide range of backgrounds, disciplines and career levels. 🗣️ Join the conversation using #NFVIOcean #NFVIOcean #NavigatingTheFutureVI #OceanScience #MarinePolicy #Sustainability #ClimateAction #EuropeanMarineBoard You can find the publication here 👇 https://lnkd.in/gyGRxEga

🌏 Check out the SRU's newest published article on sufficiency! Link in the post below 👇

📢 Authors from the German Advisory Council on the Environment have just published an article in GAIA, an academic journal dedicated to inter- and transdisciplinary research on and for sustainability transformations. The article entitled “Sufficiency as a 'Strategy of the Enough': Curbing ecological crises and injustices” is a summary of the council's discussion paper on sufficiency from March 2024: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dRwZZh-f Drawing on sights from various scientific disciplines, the discussion paper made the case for a broad societal discussion about sufficiency. It was widely receivedmin Germany, especially in civil society. The GAIA article in English language makes the key arguments now accessible to a broader international research community. It is open-access and can be downloaded from the GAIA website: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dsxKSb-H #sufficiency

Today is a day to celebrate the transformative power of science: World Science Day for Peace and Development, a date established by UNESCO to highlight the crucial role of science in building a fairer and more sustainable future. The purpose of this day is to recognize the fundamental role of science in society and emphasize the importance of engaging the public in discussions on emerging scientific issues. It also aims to underline the relevance of science in our everyday lives. Science is undoubtedly a driving force in our daily existence, influencing everything from our understanding of the world to the solutions we seek for global challenges. This day is also linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda, which aim to create a more just, developed, and peaceful world. It highlights the role scientists play in expanding our understanding of the planet we call home and how to make our societies more sustainable. At Evomate, sustainability is not just a value, but a daily practice woven into every stage of our process. Our yerba mate is native, growing under the shade of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, respecting biodiversity and the natural cycle of the ecosystem. We are the first sealed industry in Brazil, investing in research and technologies that promote the development of high-quality yerba mate, minimizing waste and avoiding contamination throughout the entire processing chain. Our commitment to science, innovation, and sustainability is unwavering, reflected in a final product that not only respects the environment but also generates real benefits for the communities around us and for society as a whole. At Evomate, science not only supports but also drives our mission to deliver quality and environmental responsibility for all.

ePAPHOS AT Digital Ocean Forum 2024 The European Digital Twin of the Ocean will unlock the door to knowledge and its translation into actions: it is a digital co-creation place at the crossroad of different disciplines. Its purpose is to provide Ocean communities, citizens, coastal actors, scientists, and policymakers worldwide, with actionable knowledge and to support them in their daily decisions and planning, to ensure a healthy and sustainable Ocean. The Digital Ocean Forum 2024 will be the occasion to unveil the prototype of the EU DTO and to showcase what the EU DTO, as a Commission public service, can do for the sustainable development of our blue economies and the management of our ocean resources, as well as how it contributes to the implementation of the Green Deal and the UN Decade of Science for Sustainable Development. It will bring together experts, stakeholders, policymakers and interested citizens in the co-design and co-creation of the European Digital Twin of the Ocean. The high-level public event will be preceded by a scientific workshop, to gather further feedback and requirements from key EU and national research projects and initiatives and establish priorities for future developments with a strong user-centric approach.
