In the third and final webinar of the three-part webinar series concerning science diplomacy and environmental peacebuilding, the focus was on oceans governance.Our planet is mostly covered by water and while we have tried to divide this territory geopolitically, our ocean resources do not recognize borders. This means that to sustainably exploit our marine environment, we need strong and integrated management. The session was joined by Dr. Leandra R. Gonçalves, postdoctoral researcher at the Oceanographic Institute, University of São Paulo, Brazil, and James Borton, faculty associate at the Walker Center, University of South Carolina, United States; and it was moderated by Dr. Dhanasree Jayaram, Co-Coordinator, Centre for Climate Studies (CCS), Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), India and Research Fellow, Earth System Governance Project.
