Building a transformative and solutions-oriented ocean observing system is critical to the success of the UN Ocean Decade. The design of such systems should follow the principles of co-design, working with stakeholders across the value chain and integrating their needs into the process.

 

This side event will focus on an interactive “speed-dating” session with areas around pan tropical societal user areas requiring better services. This will allow for discussions with user-area leadership on regional involvement and collaborations from across the value-chain.
