我们生活在一个蓝色的星球上，地球上的水造福于社会的许多部门。我们蓝色星球的未来越来越依赖于海洋、沿海和内陆水域提供的服务，以及推动关于可持续发展的有效、循证的决定。“海洋与社会：蓝色星球”是地球观测小组(GEO)的一项倡议，旨在确保海洋和沿海观测的持续发展和利用，造福社会。该倡议致力于促进和利用许多海洋和沿海水域观测方案之间的协同作用；改善与各种利益攸关方的接触，以提高提供信息的及时性、质量和范围；并在公众和政策一级提高对海洋观测的社会效益的认识。本文总结了该倡议的作用、目前的活动和对未来方向的考虑。
We live on a blue planet, and Earth’s waters benefit many sectors of society. The future of our blue planet is increasingly reliant on the services delivered by marine, coastal and inland waters and on the advancement of effective, evidence-based decisions on sustainable development. ‘Oceans and Society: Blue Planet’ is an initiative of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) that aims to ensure the sustained development and use of ocean and coastal observations for the benefit of society. The initiative works to advance and exploit synergies among the many observational programmes devoted to ocean and coastal waters; to improve engagement with a variety of stakeholders for enhancing the timeliness, quality and range of information delivered; and to raise awareness of the societal benefits of ocean observations at the public and policy levels. This paper summarises the role of the initiative, current activities and considerations for future directions.
