The 4th International Symposium will bring together experts from around the world to better understand climate impacts on ocean ecosystems – and how to respond.

The Symposium will:

    • Highlight the latest information on how oceans are changing, what is at risk and how to respond;
    • Identify key knowledge gaps;
    • Promote collaborations; and
    • Stimulate the next generation of science and actions

The Symposium will include:

    • Great sessions, presentations, and posters
    • Opportunities for pre- or post-meeting workshops
    • Special events for early career scientists
    • Sponsorship and Exhibit Opportunities

Key Topic Areas:

The Symposium is a great opportunity to share information, highlight activities, build partnerships and shape the future of this important field.

One objective for this Symposium is to present current research results and to facilitate the uptake of these new results in other analyses, including (but not restricted to) the 6th Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). We plan a Special Volume of the ICES Journal of Marine Science and we expect that additional Special Volumes in peer-reviewed journals may emerging from this Symposium.
