The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) will harness and stimulate innovative ocean research, from co-design to co-delivery, and strengthen the multi-stakeholder cooperation needed to develop the science we need for the ocean we want. It will also provide a framework for collaborative and participative ocean research, and support better integration of diverse knowledge systems from different science disciplines and ocean communities.

This virtual session “Co-designing the science we need for the South-East Pacific” is convened by UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, the MSPglobal Initiative and the Permanent Commission for the South Pacific (CPPS) with the support of Sweden, as part of the Ocean Decade Virtual Series. The objective is to dialogue about the role of ocean science in support of the development of public policies for the marine environment.

The session will explore opportunities and challenges and discuss best practices to deliver co-designed, solution-oriented research that will lead to transformative Decade Actions with long-lasting benefits for the ocean and society.

9:30 – 11:30 am (GMT-5)
