The Need for a Sustained and Fit-for-Purpose Ocean Observing System: From Physics to Socio-Ecosystems

284 Chem. du Lazaret

Side event UNOC3 on Ocean Observation - at Auditorium Jules BarroisThis event is co-organized by : - CNRS (France): Prof. Sabrina Speich - University of São Paulo &amp; PROASA FAPESP (Brazil): Prof. Alexander Turra - Federal University of Rio de Janeiro &amp; INCT-BAA (Brazil): Prof. Mauro Cirano - GOOS : Dr. Joanna Post - ISC : Drs Lynne Shannon, Peter HauganEvent Overview As climate change increasingly disrupts the ocean, there is an urgent need for robust, integrated observation systems to better understand and respond to these changes. The ocean is central to regulating Earth’s climate and influences extreme events like marine heatwaves, cyclones, and coastal flooding, with cascading effects on ecosystems and societies.This high-level side event, aligned with the spirit of SDG 14, aims to foster dialogue on building a global, inclusive ocean observing system. We will explore how to better connect physical, ecological, and socio-economic observations, share data, and strengthen collaboration across disciplines and regions. Strategic Design and ImplementationDesigning and coordinating a sustained, inclusive observing system demands a realistic and strategic approach, focused on supporting decision-making and scientific understanding rather than institutional redesign. This entails:<ul><li>Outlining a roadmap to consolidate and expand existing observation frameworks, with a focus on extreme events and their societal impacts.</li><li>Encouraging the inclusion of observatories that span physical, ecological, and socio-economic domains to better characterize the full spectrum of climate-driven changes.</li><li>Fostering collaboration between government agencies, research institutions, and civil society to ensure operational feasibility and long-term continuity.</li><li>Identifying opportunities for pilot systems and regional demonstrators to test integration approaches, refine predictive tools, and assess real-world applicability.
