IOC of UNESCO
• What is the Decade? • What are the objectives? • What is the process leading up to the Decade? • How to engage?
Omnibus Resolution for Oceans and the law of the sea
(A/RES/72/73) of 6 December 2017
1. Proclaimed the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable
Development 2021-2030, and called upon the IOC UNESCO to
prepare an implementation plan for the Decade in consultation
with …(everyone).
2. Invited the UN SG to inform the UNGA about the
implementation of the Decade through his report on oceans
and the law of the sea based on information provided by IOC…

New social contract
for natural science
The ocean science remains voluntary, while
starting to support legally-binding treaties
and address existential issues.
It is grossly under-resourced. The governance
is weak. Capacity is very unevenly distributed.
Oceanography is fit for highlighting problems
but is only starting to systematically provide
solutions.
It needs mainstreaming.
2021 – 2030:
New Social Contract for Ocean Science
Where we are and where we would like to be • Science largely competent • Science providing solutions for problem diagnostic and motivation for action • Observing system for climate • Ocean data system for and emerging data service past, present, and future • Major knowledge gaps, • Ocean literate and weak ocean literacy well-informed decisions • Funding base mostly • Clear value chain leading to in research mode resourcing and commitment • Hugely uneven capacity, especially • CD/ transfer of technology: developing countries/IDS no one remains behind
Towards a transformative
approach
One Planet, One Ocean
• Radically change our understanding of the ocean's contribution
to sustainable development
• Translate research results into problem-based solutions
• Add value by integrating social and natural sciences, but also
traditional knowledge We need to set
• Strengthen access and use of science by policy makers and principles ….not
citizens business as usual
• Promote partnership with the private sector
• Build and lead to new technologies
• Opened up access to data and information
• Target specific audiences (young scientists, gender, SIDS / LDCs,
etc.)
• Gather the UN under a common initiative

Ocean science funding: largely by research agencies,
from 0.04 to 4% of national funding for natural sciences
Societal outcomes A Clean Ocean Sources of pollution are identified, quantified and reduced, and pollutants removed from the Ocean. A healthy and resilient Ocean Marine ecosystems are mapped and protected, multiple impacts, including climate change, are measured and reduced, and the provision of Ocean ecosystem services is maintained. A predicted Ocean Society has the capacity to understand current and future Ocean conditions, forecast their change and impact on human wellbeing and livelihoods.
Societal outcomes A safe Ocean Human communities are protected from ocean hazards and the safety of operations at sea and on the coast is guaranteed. A Sustainable Productive Ocean The provision of food supply and alternative livelihoods are secured. A transparent and accessible Ocean All nations, stakeholders and citizens have access to ocean data and information, technologies, and are capable of making informed decisions.
Approach to Planning based on 6 societal outcomes for the Ocean
“What can we do together that we cannot do separately?” – M. Leinen (EPG)
1) Clean •
Current status/gaps;
2) Healthy and resilient •
Objectives/outputs;
3) Sustainably harvested/productive •
Needed actions;
4) Predicted •
Potential for collaboration;
5) Safe •
Examples of pathways from
6) Transparent and accessible science to social impact;
Views of stakeholders: • Motivation, resources,
Countries (developing, SIDS), (voluntary) commitments,
Scientists (all disciplines), alignment of funding;
UN agencies, IGOs/NGOs, • Ideas on architecture,
Private Sector, Philanthropy, coordination, governance;
Educators, Public at large • ???Decade Approach: Consolidation/Integration,
Proactive Design, and Expanding Uptake

(warming, pH, O2, pollution, turbidity, light, invasive species, …)
7. … you name it ….Draft Criteria for endorsement of activities
Type of activities: Criteria:
A Programme : Global or regional scale with - Supports achievement of R& D
profound scientific objectives , long term, multi- objectives of the Decade
national and interdisciplinary
- Start betw 2021-2030
A Project: focused undetaking, stand alone, limited - Peaceful purpose
duration, 1 or 2 entities - Multinational, multi-disciplinary,
capacity dev (focus on LDCs/SIDS)
Enabling activities: short term, support the Decade , - International cooperation
a programme or project
- Link with SDGs/
Contributions: support Decade through a donation of - Open and free data
a necessary resource (funding, data, in kind..)

?
How in practice
Personal and institutional motivation: interest; necessity, business, duty?The Decade and macroalgae? (Heiko, Ole M.) Marine and coastal tourism, as well as a myriad of other activities such as seaweed culture and collection, are dependent on marine ecosystem sustainability. “Seafood products, including finfish, invertebrates and seaweeds, are a major component of food security around the world. “ WOA 2017 Ecosystem services, habitats etc and then the other side of the coin:
Sargassum on a beach in Sierra Leone, Africa during the spectacular 2011 event
Clean up of Sargassum in a bay in Antigua, southern Caribbean

May and A. Hazel May Professor of
Mechanical EngineeringWhat can the Decade ‘do’ in a national context? We encourage to develop national plans for the Decade to: -identify national priorities relative to the overall goals of the Decade -engage broadly f.ex by organizing a national workshop to formulate research, management and other initiatives which should be developed and implemented as a part of the UN Decade
Which national fora are there to take initiativ in? -National marine science or oceanography societies -Research councils -NGO’s ? -Private Foundations
We think that: - The Decade is an important opportunity to enhance new and innovative marine research including sustainable management of marine ressources; - The Decade should lead to visible contributions to strategically relevant international marine science programmes;
How to participate?
