Scientific Insights on Emerging Ocean Technologies and Governance Gaps, SDG Media Zone - 2025 UN Ocean Conference.

 
Conversation on the state of scientific knowledge and governance around emerging ocean-based technologies.

As interest grows in emerging ocean-based technologies—such as deep-sea mining and marine geoengineering—scientists are examining their potential impacts on marine ecosystems and the adequacy of current governance frameworks. This session will explore the state of scientific knowledge around these activities, including areas of uncertainty and concern, and discuss how science can help inform precautionary approaches and strengthen international cooperation. It will also highlight the importance of inclusive, co-produced knowledge and the need for integrated, ecosystem-based governance to guide decision-making.

Speakers:

Dr. Peter Haugan, Co-Chair, International Science Council's Expert Group on Ocean; Policy Director, Institute of Marine Research; and Professor, Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen


Dr. Ellycia Harrould-Kolieb, Lecturer in Ecosystem Governance & Policy, School of Agriculture, Food and Ecosystem Sciences, The University of Melbourne (TBC)

Moderator:

Léa Nacache, Communications Officer, International Science Council (TBC)
