The Role of the Ocean: Driving the Transition to a Resilient and Inclusive Future

2021 - One Year Project

Scottish Universities Insight Institute-funded programme that looked into developing an integrated understanding of the role of the ocean, its resources and socio-economic benefits, informing decision-making that addresses the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at multiple governance levels. Outputs are listed below.

Scotland is a global leader in ambitious policy for societal change and implementation of the SDGs, notably through the National Performance Framework (NPF), the ‘Just Transition’ and the ‘Wellbeing Economy’. 

This programme facilitated interaction between diverse policy and science stakeholders for these policy agendas in Scotland and ran throughout 2021.
