This final session will explore the essential role of science, technology, and international cooperation as cross-cutting enablers of progress across all ocean priorities. Drawing on priorities from the All-Atlantic Declaration and the Oceans20 Communiqué, the session will examine how strengthened research capacities, shared standards, and collaborative innovation can advance evidence-based decision-making and support a resilient and sustainable Atlantic Ocean. Closing the series, the session will bring back the Oceans20 Brazil and Oceans20 South Africa coordinators to join the discussion on how science and innovation can drive impactful ocean action in the years ahead. This dialogue contributes to the shared vision of the Ocean20 process and the All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance (AAORIA), advancing cooperation, justice, and sustainability across the Atlantic community for collective action, empowering communities to advance a more sustainable and equitable ocean future.
