The World Ocean Council (WOC) has been selected as the only international business organization to participate in the European project Blue-Action, which is being launched this week in Berlin.
The Arctic faces rapid warming and less sea ice currently covers the Arctic Ocean than ever before at this time of the year, and Blue-Action aims to improve understanding of the processes and impacts of this and to construct better long-term forecast systems for the increasingly extreme weather of the Arctic and the wider northern hemisphere.
