The UN General Assembly took the decision on the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021–2030 in 2017. The aim is to support marine research in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. The task of the steering group appointed by the Prime Minister’s Office on 2 June 2021 was to draw up a proposal for the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development in Finland and to coordinate its implementation.
The implementation of the Decade of Ocean Science is based on the Government Resolution on Finland’s Maritime Policy Guidelines of 2019. The proposal for the implementation of the decade in Finland is based on the policy guidelines and the Government Resolution on Finland’s Maritime Policy Action Plan of 2022. The Implementation Plan for the Decade of Ocean Science follows the priorities of the global Implementation Plan and takes into account the development needs and trends in the research on and sustainable development of both the Baltic Sea and oceans. The plan promotes the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and the incorporation of marine information even more broadly in the discussion and decision-making in society.
