  • Share networks, spaces and tools in order to better communicate on the importance of the Ocean in the global climate system to all audiences;
  • Create structured platforms in Paris, before and during COP21, for the research community and civil society organizations (NGOs, companies, etc.) linked to the theme of the “Ocean”.
