Alana and Lysa discussed how islands, each […]
How can we develop an inclusive global strategy against transnational organised crime to prevent environmental damage and protect human rights? One Ocean Hub researcher, Alana Malinde S.N. Lancaster (The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, Barbados) explored these questions, as a Keynote Speaker at the First Strategic Expert Dialogue focusing on ‘Priorities for Multilateral […]
Research findings on transformative ocean governance, and their relevance for biodiversity, climate and broader environmental science-policy interfaces, contribute to developing the capacities of present and future international negotiators. Hub Director Elisa Morgera was invited to contribute to the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) annual Course on Multilateral Environmental Agreement (MEA) Negotiations (Helsinki, 27 May – 6 […]
One Ocean Learn is an online platform which aims to support global capacity building by translating ocean knowledge into action-oriented learning for activists, communities, development practitioners, policymakers and researchers on the ways in which global, national and local communities depend on and relate to the ocean, coastal areas and marine life.
Launched in June 2022 at the UN Ocean Summit, One Ocean Learn is a joint undertaking between the One Ocean Hub and the Green Development and Climate Change Programme Unit of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR).
In Ghana the Hub examines the relationships and trade-offs between the various fisheries sub-sectors and the role of heritage and ecotourism in building sustainable livelihoods.
Hub’s research in the Pacific Islands of Fiji and Solomon Islands offers significant value for reflection and comparison with other similar regions in terms of ocean governance.
The overarching goal of the Hub’s research in South Africa is to support blue economy developments on a scale that is socially and economically justifiable and ecologically sustainable.
Our research in Namibia seeks to learn from people who rely on the ocean, in order to understand the pressing challenges facing marine ecosystems and ensure that the blue economy supports sustainable ‘blue’ communities.
The Hub researchers are exploring some of the deep-sea ecosystems in the South Atlantic, and connecting researchers working in this region, so that we can better understand their value and ensure sustainable use for generations to come.
The One Ocean Hub brings together five interconnected research programmes to support more integrated, evidence-based and inclusive responses to the multiple threats facing the ocean. Threats that include plastics and climate change.
The One Ocean Hub aims to transform our response to the urgent challenges facing our ocean. Its research seeks to bridge current disconnections in law, science and policy and integrate governance frameworks to balance multiple ocean uses with conservation.
