Ocean Acidification Research for Sustainability Programme
The UN Ocean Decade endorsed programme dedicated to minimising and addressing ocean acidification.
The United Nations endorsed "Ocean Acidification Research for Sustainability - Providing society with the observational and scientific evidence needed to sustainably identify, monitor, mitigate and adapt to ocean acidification; from local to global scales (OARS)" as an Ocean Decade Programme, as proposed by GOA-ON.
The OARS programme will build on the work of GOA-ON to foster the development of ocean acidification science, including the impacts on marine life and sustainability of marine ecosystems in estuarine, coastal, and open ocean environments. The programme will address the Sustainable Development Goal indicator 14.3.1 "Minimize and address the impacts of Ocean Acidification (OA), including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels".
