This virtual session “Co-designing the science we need for the Western Pacific and adjacent areas” is convened by UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Sub-Commission for the Western Pacific, with the support of the Swedish Ministry of the Environment, as part of the Ocean Decade Virtual Series.

It will explore opportunities and challenges and discuss best practices to deliver co-designed, solution-oriented research that will lead to transformative Decade Actions with long-lasting benefits to the ocean and society.

The session will be organised in two parts:
-Part 1 – What are the main challenges and opportunities for collaborative research at regional level?
-Part 2 – What are the capacity development, training, education and resource needs at regional level?
