Researchers from the University of Plymouth, alongside colleagues from the Marine Research Plymouth labs, contributed to the UN Ocean Decade Conference, joining the global Ocean Decade community and partners to celebrate, take stock of progress, and set joint priorities for the future.
Focused on ‘delivering the science we need for the ocean we want’, the 2024 UN Ocean Decade Conference (UNODC), was hosted by the Government of Spain in Barcelona from 10 – 12 April 2024.
The Conference provided a unique opportunity to convene and prepare existing and future Ocean Decade partners in advance of the 2025 United Nations Ocean Conference and the 2025 United Ocean Conference.
University of Plymouth researchers played their part in this conference speaking at both official and satellite events and the conference itself, including a keynote talk.
Experts were also on hand on a dedicated Marine Research Plymouth exhibition booth from 8 April.
