The Belmont Forum is organizing an online webinar series titled “Ocean Accounts,” which aims to address environmental, economic, and societal data related to ocean and marine ecosystems through a holistic approach.

While these webinars are particularly aimed at international consortia preparing project proposals under the Belmont Forum Ocean 2 Collaborative Research Action (CRA), they are open to all researchers and stakeholders working in marine and ocean research, sustainability, environmental policy, and the blue economy.

The series will cover the "Ocean Accounts" framework, which is designed to collectively evaluate the ecosystem services provided by the oceans and seas.

The following topics and dates will be covered in the series:

• Environmental Accounts: December 10, 2025 (15:00)

• The status of marine and ocean ecosystems, ecosystem services, and environmental indicators.

• Economic and Environmental-Economic Accounts: January 21, 2026 (15:00)

• Ocean-related economic activities, financial flows, and environmental-economic interactions.

• Social Accounts: February 26, 2026 (15:00)

• Communities benefiting from ocean ecosystems, governance structures, and social impacts.
