Belmont Forum - OCEAN 2: Towards the Ocean We Want - Biodiversity and Ecosystem Sustainability for Nature and Human Well-being

The Belmont Forum, an international partnership of research funding organizations of which ANR is a member, is launching a call for proposals in the area of oceanic science. The call, entitled “OCEAN 2: Towards the Ocean We Want : Biodiversity and Ecosystem Sustainability for Nature and Human Well-being”, aims at coordinating actions and projects through a transdisciplinary approach, fostering co-creation, co-design, and co-implementation of innovative solutions to address global environmental challenges related to the ocean, its biodiversity from genes to ecosystems.

This call is a formal contribution to the Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. Funded projects of this CRA will be considered as formally endorsed by the Decade Actions, thus facilitating the engagement of CRA research teams in the network of Ocean Decade partners and initiatives.

Proposals must incorporate elements from at least one of the three areas listed below:

• Biodiversity Conservation and Nature-Based Solutions.
• Ocean-Biodiversity-Climate Integration.
• Nature Futures, Ocean Governance, and Ethics for Sustainability.
