DESCRIPTION:Three years after the start of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030)\, the 2024 Ocean Decade Conference will bring together the Ocean Decade community and partners to celebrate achievements and set joint priorities for the future of the Decade. \nFocused on ‘delivering the science we need for the ocean we want’\, the 2024 Ocean Decade Conference\, which will be hosted by the Government of Spain in Barcelona from 10 – 12 April 2024\, will bring together the global Ocean Decade community and partners to celebrate and take stock of progress\, and set joint priorities for the future. It will be the highlight of an entire Ocean Decade Week taking place on 8 – 12 April 2024 throughout the city. \nAn important milestone on the path to 2030\, the event will cover the full range of Ocean Decade Challenges including critical issues such as climate change\, food security\, sustainable management of biodiversity\, sustainable ocean economy\, pollution\, and natural hazards. \nWith the sub-title of ‘delivering the science we need for the ocean we want’\, the Conference will be firmly anchored in the precepts of the Ocean Decade related to solutions-oriented\, transformative ocean science\, and highlight the role of the Decade as a framework to galvanize diverse groups in inclusive and equitable co-design and co-delivery processes. \nIn view of this goal\, the Conference will include opportunities for the presentation of innovative and transformative science solutions\, in the context of a broader mandate of showcasing initiatives and generating dialogue across the whole science-policy-society interface. It will provide a global forum for governments\, leaders\, maritime sectors\, philanthropy\, universities\, private sector\, NGOs and more\, to meet and catalyse new partnerships and collaborations. \nThe high-level objectives of the Conference are to: \ni. Showcase and celebrate achievements of the Ocean Decade from 2021 to 2024. \nii. Generate consensus on science – policy – society priorities for the Ocean Decade over the next 3 to 5 years through structured dialogue around white papers resulting from the Ocean Decade Vision 2030 Process. \niii. Create opportunities for networking to catalyse new partnerships and initiatives amongst diverse stakeholder groups and to bring new partners to the Ocean Decade. \niv. Provide a global platform for announcements and commitments to support the solutions-oriented goals of the Ocean Decade. \nv. Prepare existing and future Ocean Decade partners and initiatives for a visible and meaningful role in the 2025 UN Ocean Conference and related events. \nvi. Highlight initiatives led by local partners relevant to the Ocean Decade\, in particular in relation to activities related to the role of science in the sustainable ocean economy. \nvii. Raise visibility and awareness of the Ocean Decade and the role of ocean science in sustainable development amongst the general public in Barcelona. \n10 Ocean Decade Challenges\nA key outcome of the Conference will be the publication of a set of white papers related to the 10 Ocean Decade Challenges\, that will identify future priorities for the Ocean Decade to generate the knowledge needed for science-based solutions related to global challenges\, such as climate change\, food security\, biodiversity conservation\, sustainable ocean economy\, pollution and natural hazards. \nThe Conference will take place prior to the 2024 pre-Conference for the 2025 United Nations Ocean Conference (location and date TBD\, Costa Rica – 2024) and the 2025 United Ocean Conference itself (Nice\, France – June 2025). The Conference therefore provides a unique opportunity to convene and prepare existing and future Ocean Decade partners in advance of these major global convenings. \nHosted by Spain and co-organized with UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC/UNESCO)\, the 3-day\, in-person event is co-led with a range of partners: Government of Catalonia and the Barcelona City Council through the Barcelona Capital Náutica Foundation\, and the Spanish National Ocean Decade Committee\, which is led by the Ministry of Science and Innovation through the Spanish Research Council (CSIC).

SUMMARY:UN Ocean Decade ECOP Japan Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (UN Ocean Decade) is an international framework for the sustainable use and management of the oceans using ocean science to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The Early Career Ocean Professional (ECOP) Network Programme is established to empower ECOPs\, who self-identify as being early in their career in any field related to the ocean. The Programme is endorsed by UN Ocean Decade as a network program. \nAt Japan’s first online ECOP symposium held in January 2022\, ECOPs in various fields such as universities\, research institutes\, and NPOs were invited to discuss their current activities\, challenges\, and expectations for the UN Ocean Decade\, with the aim of igniting to build a network of ECOPs in Japan. \nIn response to the issues identified by the previous symposium and subsequent online survey (e.g. funding\, employment\, lack of mentors\, etc.)\, this hybrid symposium invites ECOPs who are engaged to the seven outcomes of the UN Ocean Decade to discuss how they are resolving issues and carrying out their activities\, and to introduce such examples in Japan. In addition\, through the creation of posters related to the seven ocean outcomes\, ECOPs in Japan will recognize issues and solutions across the different sectors\, and will deepen common understanding among ECOPs toward the achievement of the UN Ocean Decade. \n\nThis hybrid symposium will provide a space for Japanese ECOPs to learn more about the seven UN Ocean Decade Outcomes and hear from speakers regarding concrete activities and initiatives related to these outcomes in Japan. In addition\, the ECOP Japan node will unveil a poster illustrating how Japanese ECOPs view the seven outcomes and what they believe should happen under each of them to achieve the ocean we want. This event will offer an opportunity for ECOPs in Japan to recognize issues and solutions across different ocean sectors\, and help deepen a common understanding toward the achievement of the UN Ocean Decade.\n\n\n\nLink in Japanese: https://www.spf.org/opri/event/20240307.html\n\n\nLink in English: https://www.spf.org/opri/en/event/20240307.html

SUMMARY:Call for contributions for a new TBTI book
DESCRIPTION:Since publishing the ‘Fish for Life book in 2005 (Kooiman et al.\, eds.)\, numerous efforts have been made to advance the Interactive Governance (IG) theory and its applications. Some of these efforts have culminated in the 2013 book (Bavinck et al.\, eds.)\, focusing on governability\, and the 2015 book (Jentoft & Chuenpagdee\, eds.)\, focusing on the application of IGT on small-scale fisheries. The literature on IG shows that the theory has been applied globally and widely\, beyond fisheries and oceans. To help celebrate the 20 years since the publication of the Fish for Life book\, and in recognition of the great work by IG scholars around the world\, it is deemed suitable to contemplate the 4th book\, to highlight the progress made in theorizing IG\, to reflect on lessons learned from various applications\, to identify and fill theoretical and application gaps\, and to project areas and spheres where IG theory can have the most real-world impact. \nThe deadline for submission of interest is December 15\, 2023. If you have any questions about this\, please send them to tbti.global@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Ocean Visions Biennial Summit 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Ocean Visions Biennial Summit 2023 will be a significant opportunity to advance the sharing of knowledge and solutions to critical challenges at the ocean-climate nexus. \nThe ocean is under threat from a host of pressures\, but none loom larger than those caused by greenhouse gas pollution\, which drives overheating and acidification. Ocean heating is in turn causing deoxygenation\, sea level rise\, and disruption of critical marine ecosystem functions and services. \nIn order to address this ocean-climate crisis\, the world needs to generate and scale innovative solutions much more effectively and quickly. \nSummit participants will share and discuss cutting-edge advancements in ocean sciences\, engineering\, policy\, governance\, and economics that support trajectory-changing solutions to the dangerous climate impacts on the ocean within 7-10 years. \nThe Summit will be held at Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta\, Georgia and online everywhere from 4-6 April 2023. We welcome a diversity of solutions-oriented participants\, including scientists\, academics\, policymakers\, entrepreneurs\, those with indigenous knowledge of oceans and solutions\, innovators\, and funders. \nThe conference is designed to be highly interactive with a mix of session types such as plenaries\, lightning presentations\, posters\, and other networking interactions. The conference is structured around five core topical tracks\, which will be addressed through half-day sessions. The tracks are: \n\nOcean-Based Contributions to Global Decarbonization: What are specific solutions and innovations necessary to advance ocean-based contributions to global decarbonization which could include but are not limited to ways to decarbonize shipping; ocean-based renewable energy sources; decarbonizing fisheries and aquaculture; and producing zero or low carbon food (blue foods)?\nOcean-Based Contributions to Carbon Dioxide Removal: How do we advance ocean-based CDR research and development—as well as related enabling conditions related to economic\, policy\, and social aspects\nOcean Ecosystem Regeneration: What interventions have the best chance of slowing\, stopping and ultimately reversing losses to critical ocean ecosystems and functions in the face of climate tipping points?\nHuman Adaptation to a Changing Ocean: How can we develop and advance the array of responses necessary to support human adaptation to a changing ocean\, such as managed retreat\, reinventing coastal ocean livelihoods\, building coastal resilience to dangerous events\, adaptation to sea level rise\, and habitat/species restoration/rewilding.\nBuilding a Global Community of Solvers at the Ocean-Climate Nexus: What are the social and economic innovations required to build a global solutions-oriented community?\n\nAbstract submissions are open until 26 October: https://agu.confex.com/agu/OVS23/prelim.cgi/Home/0 \nMore info: https://www.agu.org/Ocean-Visions-Summit \nIf you are interested in applying to chair sessions within the 5 tracks identified as part of the Summit\, all entries for chair should include a CV\, preferred track and a brief cover letter describing the applicant’s interest and qualifications to run their preferred track. Please send this information to nikhil@oceanvisions.org by end of October. \nMore information: https://oceanvisions.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/OVS-Call-for-Track-Leads-.pdf

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:OUR OCEAN\, OUR CONNECTION\nPanama City\, 2-3 March 2023 \nThe ocean is one of humankind’s most valuable resources: home to 80% of all life on Earth\, provider of nourishment for more than 3 billion people\, and a medium for global trade. However\, this vital asset is in danger from global warming\, unsustainable practices\, illegal fishing\, reckless pollution\, and the loss of marine habitats. It is time for all nations to work together to prevent the further destruction of our ocean. Our collective efforts to clean the ocean\, restore climate and regenerate marine life may well be the last stand in a struggle to do away with actions and ways of thinking that cause disruption the lives of all beings that populate our planet. \nOur Ocean 2023 will create a space for collaborative dialogue between heads of state\, private sector\, civil society\, and academic institutions to discuss how we can save our marine resources\, promote sustainable use\, and educate the public about our ocean. \nMost importantly\, we will bring attention to the critical importance of the implementation of well-connected systems of effective area-based management measures\, including Marine Protected Areas\, the development of the global blue economy and proposing innovative solutions to address marine pollution. \nOur Ocean Conference: https://ouroceanpanama2023.gob.pa \nApply for the Our Ocean Youth Leadership summit with Sustainable Ocean Alliance (by 23 November): https://ouroceanpanama2023.gob.pa/how-to-apply/
