AI Article Synopsis
- The current strategies for tackling issues at the ocean-climate intersection fail to fully consider the complex interactions between human, social, and ecological systems, hindering effective and equitable decision-making.
- There is a call to adopt systems-informed decision-making that prioritizes interdisciplinary approaches and comprehensive impact assessments.
- This shift aims to enhance collaboration among decision-makers and create fair solutions that recognize the diverse needs of all stakeholders involved in sustainable development.
Article Abstract
Despite repeated calls for more inclusive practices, approaches used to address current challenges within the ocean-climate nexus do not sufficiently account for the complexity of the human-social-ecological system. So far, this has prevented efficient and just decision-making and policies. We propose to shift towards systems-informed decision making, which values transdisciplinary system-thinking and cumulative impact assessments, and encourages multi-system collaboration among decision-makers in order to address the recurring technicality of policies and to foster just solutions that account for the needs of varied actors across the sustainable development spectrum.

UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission launched the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development in 2021 to boost global and sustainable Ocean governance. The initiative resulted from historical and political dynamics at the global and lower political scales, with maritime environmental and economic concerns becoming more prominent in 2010. The Ocean Decade's pillars include science and research, sustainability, conservation, and bridging gaps for a global Ocean-Climate-Biodiversity nexus.
