KNOWLEDGE-TRANSLATION PLATFORM: ONE OCEAN LEARN

One Ocean Learn is an online platform which aims to support global capacity building by translating ocean knowledge into action-oriented learning for activists, communities, development practitioners, policymakers and researchers on the ways in which global, national and local communities depend on and relate to the ocean, coastal areas and marine life.

Launched in June 2022 at the UN Ocean Summit, One Ocean Learn is a joint undertaking between the One Ocean Hub and the Green Development and Climate Change Programme Unit of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR).
