Conserve And Sustainably Use The Oceans, Seas And Marine Resources - The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14

The UN explains: "Our oceans — their temperature, circulation, chemistry, and ecosystems — play a fundamental role in making Earth habitable.

Our rainwater, drinking water, weather, climate, coastlines, much of our food, and even the oxygen in the air we breathe, are all ultimately provided and regulated by the sea. Throughout history, oceans and seas have been vital conduits for trade and transportation. Careful management of this essential global resource is a key feature of a sustainable future."


The UN has defined 10 Targets and 10 Indicators for SDG 14. Targets specify the goals and Indicators represent the metrics by which the world aims to track whether these Targets are achieved. Below we quote the original text of all Targets and show the data on the agreed Indicators.

How is the world doing on this goal?

Research resources for marine technology - SDG Indicator 14.A.1

Definition: Indicator 14.A.1 is the "proportion of total research budget allocated to research in the field of marine technology".



Goal: "Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology" by 2030.
