2 weeks ago the IODE/OceanTeacher Global Academy Programme delivered successfully 2 side events in collaboration with many partners.
On 11th June there was the successful event on: From Strategy to Action: Mobilizing Partnerships for Ocean Capacity Development, organized together with the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) in Germany.
Summary:
Equitable capacity is key to accelerating global progress in sustainable management and use of the ocean, functioning as a baseline for nations to overcome current and future crises and share benefits fairly. In this context, this side event is a Call for Global Ocean Capacity Development action, opening the opportunity for ongoing multi-stakeholder collaborative initiatives to showcase solutions and discuss integration of a joint roadmap towards the implementation of the UNESCO IOC Capacity Development Strategy 2023-2030. The event builds on UNESCO IOC Capacity Development cross-cutting initiatives, led by its Global Programmes and Regional Subsidiary Bodies, and implemented by integrated action with the ocean community. In light of the work of the IOC Group of Experts on Capacity Development in developing an implementation plan for the IOC Capacity Development Strategy, the discussions will focus on: (1) the critical global and regional needs on ocean science capacity development; (2) ways on how progress is being assessed and approached by various initiatives; and (3) recent efforts of existing and potential partners such as other UN agencies, intergovernmental institutions, and international initiatives leading capacity development in marine and maritime space, in a call to a jointly coordinated to share and commit to supporting global collaboration in ocean science capacity development.
