IFOP achieves incorporation of CHONOS in the “Decade of the Oceans”

July 23rd, 2024 Periodista Gabriela.Gutiérrez

Within the framework of the sixth Call for Actions of the Decade, called by the Decade of Ocean Sciences for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) or Decade of the Oceans, the IFOP postulated the “Oceanographic Information System – CHONOS” initiative, led by the Department of Environment of the Aquaculture Research Division.

The Decade of the Oceans is an initiative coordinated by UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), which provides a framework for global actors to engage and collaborate outside their traditional communities to spark a revolution in ocean sciences. . The actions that are part of the Ocean Decade contribute to meeting 10 challenges that articulate the most immediate priorities to achieve “The science we need for the ocean we want.” This through the search for transformative ocean science solutions for sustainable development, which connect people with the ocean.

CHONOS will be part of the “ForeSea – Future Ocean Prediction Capability” Program led by OceanPredict where institutions from the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland participate. The vision of the program is to generate strong international coordination and the joint creation of prediction capabilities for the future, thus contributing to advancing challenges; Ocean Observation, Digital Representation of the Oceans and Capacity Building. Through this program, it is sought that the science of ocean prediction has greater impact and relevance at a global level.

The addition of CHONOS to the Decade of the Oceans will allow the integration of the IFOP into a global network of ocean-minded professionals committed to the co-design and implementation of joint actions to advance towards a revolution in ocean sciences. This network has approximately 7,000 members in more than 100 countries working in various sectors, such as sciences, arts, government, industry and academia.
