Lead institution:
First Institute of Oceanography (FIO) of the Ministry of Natural Resources of China, in partnership with the International CLImate VAriability Research Project Office (CLIVAR-ICPO), the China National Marine Data and Information Service (NMDIS), the China National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center (NMEFC), the China National Satellite Ocean Application Service (NSOAS), and the Regional Training and Research Center on Ocean Dynamics and Climate (RTRC-ODC) – China
The DCC-OCC will engage in generating new knowledge and solutions for the ocean-climate nexus to mitigate and build resilience against climate change and communicate the information with a wide range of stakeholders.
This will be achieved through identifying and filling data and knowledge gaps of ocean-climate relationship; evaluating and screening for the most effective model testbed schemes; coordinating relevant stakeholders nationally and globally; capacity building; sharing and communicating results, best practices, and data products.
Also, a strong mobilization of Chinese institutions has allowed the creation of various Decade Implementing Partners. Local coordination of these partners will allow their efficient contribution to the Ocean Decade. As a second mission, the DCC-OCC will therefore coordinate the Decade Implementing Partners based in China, in partnership with the Chinese National Decade Committee.
