Project ID 549INT2006

The project is the result of the successful cooperation between IOC-UNESCO and the University of Portsmouth of the UK in the framework of the European Union Horizon 2020 Programme on Biodiversity strategy and 7th Environment Action. The objectives are: 1) Develop new empirical models on interaction between CC, biodiversity, functions and services from the tropics to the sub-polar regions. 2) Establish a framework to assess the vulnerability of marine social-ecological systems under CC scenarios and develop vulnerability indices. 3) Evaluate the effectiveness of nature-based solutions and protection measures enhancing the resilience. 4) Provide evidence based marine policy strategies.
