G7 Future of Seas and Ocean Initiative
Promote increased G7 political cooperation by identifying additional actions needed to enhance future routine ocean observations.
The two-day Summit explored progress in the development of Digital Twins of the Ocean capability, considered their requirements for infrastructure, described potential applications and defined a path forward.
Co-hosted by the G7 FSOI Coordination Centre and the IOCCP/ GOOS Biogeochemistry Panel, the meeting discussed the scope of the strategy, including engagement with users from multiple sectors, observing requirements, existing capacity, data management, synthesis and product development.
On 25 November 2021, the G7 FSOI Coordination Centre hosted a one-day workshop jointly with the 16th Session of the Scientific Steering Committee of the International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP) to launch the activity “A Global Surface Ocean CO2 Monitoring Strategy“.
