Organised by:
The One Ocean Hub for the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Climate Adaptation
and Resilience Online Series.

The event is aimed to
explore the impacts of climate change and strategies to build adaptation and
mitigation processes. It will also showcase the One Ocean Hub research on
climate change impacts and building adaptation and resilience that is built on
existing networks in some of our focus countries. The One Ocean Hub adopts
inter- and trans-disciplinarity. We work with stakeholders and experts from
varied disciplines including marine science, law, anthropology, sociology,
history, and arts.
