GEOS will develop and deploy a series of equitable, durable, and scalable ocean-based solutions for addressing climate change and Ocean Decade’s challenges.
It will achieve this through three synergistic mechanisms: the GEOS Network made up of researchers, engineers, innovators, investors, decision-makers, and others, which will co-design the GEOS Task Forces for the co-creation of solution-delivering projects, and the GEOS Innovation Engine that will prototype and deploy those solutions. GEOS initial projects focus on ocean-based carbon dioxide removal, providing adaptation tools to coastal communities, and improving ocean-based human health, with further projects to be developed throughout the Ocean Decade.
Start Date: 18/05/2021
End Date: 31/12/2030
This Programme hosts the following Ocean Decade Project:
SEA’TIES – Sharing solutions with coastal cities to tackle sea-level rise
Blue Carbon Assessment for Seagrass and Kelp
Virtual Platform for Sustainable Ocean Education
Marine carbon sinks in decarbonisation pathways
