The G7 Climate and Environment Ministers and European Commission adopted the G7 Ocean Decade Navigation Plan at the Ministerial, which was held virtually from 20 to 21 May 2021. The Navigation Plan marks the beginning of the G7’s commitment to and support for the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) (UN Ocean Decade). It also establishes a framework through which the G7 will collaborate and advance their collective work on ocean science, ocean observing and ocean action throughout the UN Ocean Decade.
