Fresh Thoughts is participating in the EU EMFAF tender ‘Towards IPOS’, which aims to bring together a diverse global network of leading Ocean scientists, interdisciplinary experts, policymakers and civil society stakeholders in support for the establishment of an International Platform for Ocean Sustainability (IPOS).
Towards IPOS is an initiative supported by more than 30 scientific institutions and a growing number of countries. The objective is to develop the International Platform for Ocean Sustainability (IPOS) as the first global demand driven mechanism to bridge the gap between Ocean knowledge, policy and society. The IPOS will help States to accelerate the fulfillment of their international Ocean commitments such as Sustainable Development Goal 14, and Global Biodiversity Framework Targets 2 and 3, among others. IPOS will achieve this by providing demand driven, tailored services that deliver actionable knowledge and policy options that are responsive to the timelines of decision makers. The Towards IPOS consortium was tasked by the European Commission to determine the feasibility of an International Platform for Ocean Sustainability, and to detail the substance and processes of such a platform.
Fresh Thoughts is leading on Task 3.2. on events. In addition, we are contributing to Task 2.2. on IPOS Secretariat functions, aiming to develop a Secretariat plan, including a handover plan and legacy strategy and Task 3.1.. Communication and 3.3. political outreach.
