    Description
    Description

    This voluntary commitment aims to integrate the Ocean Observation and Monitoring
    Systems related to the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) Brazil, which
    supports a research network for the execution of actions linked to the observation
    system.
    The commitment contributes to the objectives of the United Nations Decade of Ocean
    Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030), aligning with the vision of a clean,
    healthy, productive, resilient, predictable, safe, accessible and valued ocean.
    It focuses on the challenges of the Decade: Through the collaboration of various
    stakeholders, develop a comprehensive digital representation of the oceans, including
    a dynamic, open-access map that allows exploring, discovering and visualizing ocean
    conditions in the past, present and future, in a way that can be relevant to all
    stakeholders; as well as ensuring the development of global skills and equitable access
    to data, information, knowledge and technology regarding all aspects of ocean science
    and for all stakeholders.
    awareness, capacity building and fostering scientific understanding of the role of the
    ocean in sustainable development.
    Objectives:

    The expansion of ocean observation systems to remote areas of the National
    Territory, i.e., the Oceanic Islands, as platforms for monitoring climate variables.
    Implementation methodologies:



    Collaborative strategy development between MCTI and MD, include SeCIRM
    and INPO;
    Mobilization of national and international partners;
    Engagement in forums and events to foster knowledge exchange.
