This Pride Month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and recognize the many ways LGBTQ+ individuals contribute to our society.

Pride is a time to recognize the value of diversity, reflect on the progress that has been made toward greater inclusion, and reaffirm our commitment to creating environments where all people are respected, supported, and empowered to succeed.

We believe that science is strengthened by the diversity of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds that make up our community. We are proud to celebrate our LGBTQ+ colleagues, members, trainees, and allies this month and throughout the year.

Did you know? 🌊The ocean covers more than 70% of our planet, produces at least half of the oxygen we breathe, and is home to most of earth's biodiversity. Even tiny marine organisms like phytoplankton play a huge role in keeping life on earth going.
In recognition of 2026, joins the global call to "Reimagine" our relationship with the ocean—not as something distant, but as a living system connected to our health, climate, food, and future.

A few ocean facts:
🐠 Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the seafloor yet support at least 25% of marine species.
🌊 The ocean absorbs a significant share of human-produced carbon dioxide and helps stabilize global temperatures.
⚠️ Pollution, microplastics, and other toxicants can move through marine ecosystems, affecting wildlife and raising concerns for environmental and human health.
🌍 More than a billion people depend on the ocean as a major source of food and livelihood.

This World Oceans Day, let's REIMAGINE what ocean protection can look like—from reducing single-use plastics and supporting sustainable seafood, to advancing science-based policies and protecting marine habitats. The ocean sustains us. Now it's our turn to sustain it. 💙

Dive deeper into how you can make an impact: https://unworldoceansday.org

In celebration and support of the life and livelihood that the ocean sustains, UN WOD 2021 will feature keynotes, panel discussions and presentations that spotlight biodiversity, latest oceanic discoveries, the interconnectivity between the ocean and its ecosystems, and more.

Join in celebrating .

The planet doesn’t argue. It doesn’t negotiate. It sends signals—rising seas, wildfires, heatwaves, melting glaciers, and shifting ecosystems. These signals remind us that climate change is not a distant concern; it is happening now, affecting communities and ecosystems that support life.

This year’s World Environment Day theme, “Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future,” reminds us that nature is central to climate resilience and to the health of generations to come. By protecting and restoring natural systems, we can help strengthen the planet’s ability to adapt, recover, and sustain.

As scientists, we understand the importance of reading signals, asking questions, and turning evidence into action. Climate change affects the world around us and the biological systems that sustain life, making research, collaboration, and science-based solutions more urgent than ever.

Let’s act and work together toward a healthier, more resilient future.
