Ocean&Climate Village is the first traveling, interactive and educational exhibition dedicated to the ocean and climate, developed by the UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO. The initiative is part of the All4Climate initiative of Pre-COP26 and in the context of the United Nations has proclaimed a Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030).
The goal of Ocean&Climate Village
Ocean&Climate Village is an innovative tool to spread the main concepts and principles of Ocean Literacy as well as promote a transformative change in the way society experiences the ocean.
At the heart of this awareness-raising task are young people and various sectors of society, which aim to raise awareness on the Generation Ocean that by 2030, will have developed not only recognition of the ocean importance and adequate scientific knowledge, but also support the new generations to become the protagonists of the needed change.
The Ocean&Climate Village catalogue
Such as the physical experience of the Ocean&Climate Village, the catalogue collects the contents presented inside the exhibition through the point of view of the illustrators who participated in the creation of the panels.
Nevertheless, the catalogue is full of stories and inspirational narratives from people all over the world who are dedicating their lives to ocean, cultural, and natural heritage conservation and use their skills for disseminating ocean knowledge and creating collective awareness aimed at achieving the Agenda 2030 objectives.
The catalogue is available in Italian and English in PDF and digital format.
