Ensuring affordable high-speed Internet connections and equally affordable access to electronic scientific information and data for all the world's universities and research institutions has become indispensable for informed decision-making and knowledge production.
In its 120 pages, Weathering Uncertainty references 280 publications from the scientific literature (peer-reviewed and grey) and covers themes at the core of the Fifth AR such as foundations for decision-making on indigenous knowledge, traditional livelihoods, vulnerability, resilience, and adaptation policy and planning.

Through the application of this knowledge the Commission aims to improve management practices and the decision-making process of its Member States, foster sustainable development, and protect the marine environment.
It uses its World Network of Biosphere Reserves as vehicles for knowledge-sharing, research and monitoring, education and training, and participatory decision-making.
Its mission is to promote international cooperation and to coordinate programmes in research, services and capacity building to learn more about the nature and resources of the oceans and coastal areas, and to apply this knowledge to improved management, sustainable development and protection of the marine environment and the decision making processes of its 144 Member States.
This will require improvements in the capacity, knowledge, communication and networking available to enhance the flow and quality of information available for informed decision-making on the status of coastal resources, and their effective management in light of climate change impacts.
'promote international cooperation and to coordinate programmes in research, services and capacity building, in order to learn more about the nature and resources of the ocean and coastal areas and to apply that knowledge for the improvement of management, sustainable development and protection of the marine environment and the decision-making process of its Member States'.
