The One Ocean Science Congress is a pivotal event organized by CNRS and IFREMER as part of the Third United Nations Ocean Conference. The goal of the congress is to provide comprehensive scientific insights into the ocean's health and future trajectory, informing global decision making on ocean conservation, and supporting Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water. This SDG aims to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development, and is currently the least funded of all Sustainable Development Goals. The Congress will feature various plenary sessions, poster presentations, panels, and roundtables.

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), when paired with extensive emissions reductions, is a mitigation strategy to limit warming to 1.5°C as it removes legacy carbon emissions from the atmosphere by augmenting natural processes on ocean and land.
However, in order to meet climate goals, CDR must scale 30 times its present capacity by 2030, which is estimated to require an annual global investment of 1.13 billion USD/year for research and development.

This panel event is focused on the Global Greenhouse Gas Watch, which will provide a valuable tool to support the transparency of global mitigation action.
The system will be built on three components:
Open and unrestricted access to data will ensure a full transparency of system outputs, which will provide globally consistent information that will feed multiple applications including supplementary information to the traditional inventory reporting.
