In 2020, the world’s oceans reached their hottest level in recorded history. The heat trapped by carbon emissions is absorbed by the oceans, disrupting marine ecosystems and societies who depend on them.
Leading up to World Oceans Day, this virtual event highlighted some examples of innovative initiatives making use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), to protect oceans, to overcome challenges and to strengthen efforts to mobilize, create and drive solutions towards the achievement of SDG14 – Life below water.
