Dear UN Atlas Member,

We start this new year with a look at recent events and news: learn about the newly-launched Decade of Biodiversity, outcomes of the Durban conference on climate change and documents covering a variety of oceans-related topics.

As the year unfolds, we can look at some of the challenges and opportunities facing the sustainable development of the world's oceans:
  • climate change negotiators can take their recently-agreed deal forward and put actions behind signatures
  • Rio+20 Conference has a chance to ensure that oceans and coastal issues are prominently featured on the global agenda
  • development and exploration - from coasts to sea beds - can and should be conducted responsibly for today and for future generations
  • .
    We take this time to wish you a happy and successful 2012 and thank you for all your contributions - from becoming a member and adding information to sharing this newsletter - to support the Atlas in providing information for the sustainable development of the world's oceans.
