Towards Sustainability and Beyond with Ocean Health Science
- The third United Nations Ocean Conference was held from June 9 to 13, 2025, in Nice, France, with France and Costa Rica serving as co-chairs.
- In advance of UNOC-3, the International Science Council published a policy brief urging collaborative, cross-disciplinary research approaches to inform ocean policy in response to increasing pressures on marine ecosystems.
- The policy brief, developed by an expert group of natural and social scientists, highlights stressors like overfishing, pollution, warming, acidification, and emerging deep-sea mining activities.
- It warns that up to 60% of marine ecosystems are already degraded, with cumulative stressors pushing oceans toward tipping points risking irreversible effects on climate, biodiversity, food security, and social equity.
- The brief calls for urgent, coordinated action and strategic investment to foster collaborative, equitable ocean governance that supports sustainable development and planetary stability.
