UNITED NATIONS ENDORSES WASCAL CABO VERDE’S OCEAN SCIENCE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

WASCAL-Cabo Verde is delighted to announce to all the partners, students, and collaborators the endorsement as Decade Project in the framework of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, specifically in the Early Career Ocean Professionals Programme (ECOP).

This recognition triggers our responsibility and commitment to the West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use: Cabo Verde Graduate School on Climate Change and Marine Sciences (WASCAL-Cabo Verde).

On behalf of the entire WASCAL-Cabo Verde team, students, and partners, we express our gratitude to the UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, the United Nations body responsible for coordinating the Decade’s preparatory process.

The Master’s Research Programme on Climate Change & Marine Sciences of the University of Cabo Verde is one of twelve WASCAL Programmes in Climate Change programmes, implemented in close cooperation with the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, the University of Kiel and the Thünen Institute, as German partner institutions and with the National Institute for Fishery Development (INDP) as the Cabo Verdean partner institution.
