About This Opportunity

The Belmont Forum Ocean 2 call aims to coordinate actions and projects to address global environmental challenges related to oceans, their high biodiversity, habitats and ecosystems. The call prioritises three main thematic areas: biodiversity conservation and nature-based solutions, ocean-biodiversity-climate integration, and nature futures, ocean governance and ethics for sustainability. This call seeks to integrate multilateral and collaborative approaches while strengthening the link between societal needs and science and technology. The research must take into account differences between ocean basins, cultural diversity, regional and local specificities, and distinct financial models. By strengthening the science-policy-society interface, the call seeks to foster evidence-based policymaking, improve multi-level and cross-sectoral societal cooperation in ocean governance, and support the effective implementation of solutions for ocean biodiversity and sustainability globally.
