“Oceans and coasts are changing. We’re listening to those changes. Complex challenges take a diverse community to hear, understand and act.” 

We are very excited to invite you to save the date for Our Coastal Futures – the next Future Earth Coasts Open Science Conference, which will take place 20-22 October 2020 (with provisions for workshops until October 24) at Southern Cross University, Gold Coast/Australia. The conference is organized around interdisciplinary themes and seeks contributions from sciences, arts and humanities, policy and governance and has a strong emphasis on the contribution of Indigenous Knowledge. Our Coastal Futures will be a transdisciplinary, multi-format International Conference to share and generate knowledge and enable effective action. It is organized together by Future Earth Coasts and Future Earth Australia and is an official United Nation endorsed event towards the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (http://oceandecade.org/).
