Indian Institute of Public Administration DigestSummary: Oceans are important in climate control and disaster staging, butthey are hard to watch because of their vastness. Submarine telecommunication cables, previously used for data transmission, offer a way to improve seismic event early warning and climate monitoring through real-time data. The IOC is in charge of coordinating the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030, the “Ocean Decade”. This paper aims to explain how environmental sensors can be incorporated into undersea cables to improve the early warning system for seismic events and support long-term climate studies. It investigates the possibility of loading these cables with temperature, pressure, and seismic sensors to obtain cost- effective and continuous ocean observations. It also reviews legal, regulatory, and economic barriers and the part that ITU, WMO, and UNESCO/IOC can play in coordinating international efforts. This paper aims at a case study on the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2025 Santorini earthquake to reveal the possible value of sensor-imbedded submarine cables for risk mitigation and disaster preparedness. The results of the study also show that there is a need for international cooperation, policy changes, and sustainable investment plans to leverage the potential of submarine cables for environmental sensing. Finally, the study identifies how scientific submarine cables can be incorporated into global early warning systems, with emphasis on their application to life and economic risk from climate hazards. Thus, the present study is significant from a practical standpoint and can be useful for designing further methods of applying submarine cables for environmental sensing purposes, as well as for enhancing international cooperation in this area. The conclusion contains the main recommendations for the implementation of the project, as well as the further directions of its development.- Reproduced
