Lead institution:
Center for Ocean Leadership – United States of America (USA)
The Center for Ocean Leadership (COL) aims to support the Decade Coordination Office (DCO) for Ocean Observing through organizing strategic convenings around observation-related programs and the Decade Challenge 7 White Paper, highlighting Decade observation program successes and impacts through targeted communications with partners and users, and fostering collaboration with the DCO to achieve shared goals.
COL will also recommend resource needs, including potentially in-person convenings and digital platforms for communication and collaboration. Leveraging COL’s network of affiliates and partners, this partnership aims to accelerate progress towards a globally sustained ocean observing system and sustainable ocean management. The partnership will conclude by the end of 2030, the UN Decade or once all significant planning milestones are achieved.
This Decade Contributions benefits from the support of staff from the Ocean Observing Program at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research’s Center for Ocean Leadership.
