Description

The project aims to make known, in a simple but appropriate and correct way, the great variables and the general framework of the Ocean Assessment carried out by the Joint Working Group on the Regular Process of the United Nations General Assembly, making the knowledge of its conclusions accessible to policy makers and by different audiences that can then be shared openly and widely disseminated in society.

By accomplishing that, the project aims at promoting a better science-based definition for Action Plans for economic, social or environmental action that relate to the use and conservation of the Ocean. The project aims to bridge the gap in the production of knowledge in the Ocean Assessment report and its knowledge and ownership by its last recipients, through the creation and compilation of a collection of thematic information sheets following the essential topics of the report, and the making of illustrative and accessible infographic films for policy makers and different audiences that can then be shared openly and widely disseminated in society.
