New Delhi, Amid the challenges posed by climate change, India has launched a plan to design region-specific ocean observations for forecasting involving NGOs to use traditional knowledge to better understand the deep sea ecosystem. Have strongly advocated.
At the 2024 Oceans Decade conference in Barcelona earlier this month, India called for designing people-centric multi-hazard early warning systems and adaptation planning strategies to enhance coastal resilience.
The Indian delegation to the conference was led by Earth Sciences Secretary Ravichandran and included experts in the field of ocean studies, including Srinivas Kumar, Director of the Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS).
Ravichandran also urged integration of ocean observation systems across all platforms in accessible and useful formats, focusing on the use of science to drive policy and decision making by coastal cities and greater emphasis on regionally specific ocean observations .
India had convened the Indian Ocean Regional Decade Conference in Hyderabad in February to discuss the challenges of the Maritime Decade and steps to address them.At the Barcelona conference, India also stressed the need to enhance biogeochemical and coastal observations and reinvigorate ocean data management.
Programs such as International Ocean Data and Information Exchange (IODE), Digital Twins and Capacity Development Center Initiative.
Ravichandran also stressed the need to design regional projects like Ocean Forecast that demonstrate the end-to-end operational ocean value chain to user communities.
They also underlined the need to align current and future initiatives with the challenges of the UN Oceans Decade
Ravichandran said there is a need to bring in traditional knowledge through involvement of NGOs, local communities and industry partners in marine literacy and other related programmes.
The United Nations had declared 2021-30 as the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, to encourage knowledge generation to reverse the degradation of marine systems and support the sustainable development of vast marine ecosystems. So that new opportunities can be stimulated.
