Young Blue Futures: Building youth resilience in coasts under climate change
UK - Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)
For the first time in history, young coastal resource-users will emerge into independent adult life under the shadow of climate change, and their entire adulthood will unfold under the predicted worsening outcomes to 2050 and 2100. For instance, at 2 degrees C of warming there is expected to be a step-change in climate impacts, including the irreversible loss of coral reef ecosystems. In developing counties, climate impacts intersect with other significant development challenges related to accelerating environmental change and increased competition for resources, widespread and extreme poverty, high levels of youth unemployment, and a lack of formal agency. Young people may be required to leave behind the identities, livelihoods and culture of past generations as they re-adjust their future development aspirations. Transformation will occur in ways and for reasons that are unprecedented. Young people are renowned for their open-mindedness and resourcefulness, yet they are rarely included in decision-making about their future. The 'Greta Thunberg' effect has opened a window of opportunity globally to amplify youth voice, include them in governance and catalyse meaningful action on climate resilience. Young Blue Futures leverages young people's desire to connect, experiment and express themselves in order to build a network of young participants, academics and practitioners in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) dedicated to addressing the intersecting risks and structural barriers facing young coastal resource-users. This network will co-produce new knowledge of the multi-scale and gendered determinants of resilience to underpin innovative, cross-cutting solutions that build youth resilience. Young Blue Futures integrates the frontiers of research on youth resilience (from human development) with the state-of-the-art on system resilience to environmental, climate and intersecting risk (from sustainability science). It will be the first project to apply a multi-scale approach to understanding psychological, social, institutional and environmental determinants of youth resilience, and their amplifying and dampening feedbacks, in social-ecological systems. Through creative community engagement activities, the Network Development phase explores young men and women's own interpretations of youth, resilience, climate change, and the structural barriers they face across five countries: Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique and Tanzania. It also consolidates best-practice in supporting youth resilience-building from a diverse practitioner community bridging conservation and development (see network partners), health, education, business, and disaster response. Best-practice will be distilled through desk-top review, stakeholder consultation and knowledge-sharing activities at a regional workshop. This new knowledge will inform co-creation of novel resilience pathways for implementation in the Network Plus that cut across sectoral divides (e.g., environment and business), bring to the fore neglected facets of young people's resilience (e.g., leadership, mental health), and are tailored to gender and different contexts. Moreover, responding to regional demand for new partnerships to underpin resilience interventions, Young Blue Futures will consolidate best practice in partnership-building and apply it to novel, strategic partnerships with the private sector and creative industry. These partnerships will foster two-way problem solving and capacity development for youth, industry and system resilience. .

GCRF One Ocean Hub
UK - Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)
Over 70% of the earth's surface is ocean. As a global population, we are entirely reliant upon a healthy ocean: it contributes to the renewal of freshwater; it absorbs over a quarter of global carbon dioxide, and it produces half the oxygen we breathe. The ocean has the potential to make significant contributions to sustainable development. Many developing countries already depend on their ocean resources for food, work and livelihoods. Yet we are reaching an ocean health crisis: cumulative pressures such as over-exploitation of its resources, ocean plastics and pollution and climate change, all compounded by multiple competing uses, are pushing the ocean ecosystem to a tipping point. There is an urgent need for more integrated ocean governance, to ensure greater balance between ocean conservation and sustainable use (Sustainable Development Goal 14) and realise the ocean's potential to contribute to poverty reduction, human health, healthy ecosystems on land, climate change mitigation and adaptation, equitable economic growth and decent employment. ""We are the sea...we must wake up to this ancient truth...It is time to create things for ourselves, to create established standards of excellence that match those of our ancestors."" It is with this spirit that the ONE OCEAN Hub will transform our response to the urgent challenges facing our ocean. The Hub will weave learning from the ocean, and traditional knowledge of the peoples who rely upon it, with scientific excellence, innovative legal approaches and artistic methods. Our aim is to bridge the disconnections in law, science and policy across all levels from the local to the international. We aim to empower vulnerable communities, woman and youth in the blue economy and catalyse the inclusive and integrated governance approaches required to ensure a healthy ocean and flourishing communities and economies. The Hub will specifically address the challenges of South Africa, Namibia, Ghana, Fiji and Solomon Islands in realising the economic, socio-cultural and environmental benefits from the ocean. It aims to support these countries' efforts towards developing a sustainable and fair blue economy by providing new scientific data and tools to engage different sectors and groups within society, particularly vulnerable communities, woman and youth, in identifying opportunities, risks and trade-offs to: i) prevent and mitigate negative development impacts connected to the ocean, ii) participate in traditional and emerging ocean activities, and iii) predict the socioeconomic benefits of ocean conservation. The Hub pioneers integrating law and arts, policy, informatics, education, history, anthropology, and philosophy to provide targeted advice on coherent and flexible, pro-poor and gender- sensitive, climate-proofed and transparent laws and policies across the areas of environmental, human rights, science and technology, trade and investment. The Hub will further integrate biology, physics, chemistry, oceanography, ecology, mathematics, socio-environmental sciences and law to advance understanding of sustainable fisheries in the face of climate change impacts, as well as socio-economic and cultural considerations. The Hub will also increase understanding of conservation and extraction options for deep-sea mineral, biological and freshwater resources, integrating biology, ecology, geology, socio-environmental sciences and law. Through innovative use of arts the hub will transcend traditional boundaries in policy, law, and between ocean stakeholders from local communties to international organisatons, to respectfully and effectively include local communities' traditional knowledge in decision-making at the national and local level on the blue economy. The Hub will develop the integrated governance frameworks and strengthen the capacity within commnities to drive innovative approaches to a fair and sustainable blue economy for South Africa, Namibia, Ghana, Fiji and Solomon Islands
