Dear APRU Senior International Leaders,
Greetings from APRU International Secretariat.
As you may have noticed the deadline for completing the Survey: Achieving Sustainable Oceans for the Pacific Rim is approaching, we are pleased to inform you that the deadline has been extended to July 31, 2018, in order to give your universities sufficient time to complete it.
Please forward this email survey as widely as possible to faculty and colleagues who have knowledge in the intersection of oceanic research and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as:
•marine/ocean science
•environmental science and engineering
•public policy
•law
As part of the inaugural APRU Pacific Ocean Cluster Project, the survey aims to collect expert opinions and knowledge to identify how SDG Goal 14: Life Below Water co-benefits or faces trade-offs from addressing other SDG goals at national scales.
The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. The final outcomes of the survey will be:
•used to determine policy priorities to achieve sustainable ocean development across Pacific Rim economies.
•shared and disseminated through the APRU network and beyond.
•applied to the following project workshop by supporting the development of policy pathways to advance SDG14.
•presented to the APEC Ocean and Fisheries Working Group for further discussions and extensive research in 2019.
