The 2nd regional dialogue platform taking place in Tahiti on 10 – 12 December 2024 is part of a collective scientific assessment on deep-sea knowledge and governance, commissioned by the French State Secretariat for the Sea and coordinated by the French Research Institute for Sustainable Development.
In line with the Ocean Decade objectives, it focuses on ocean knowledge plurality, actual and potential uses and impacts, and governance mechanisms. It aims to produce recommendations on deep-sea policy. Its results will be made fully public through open-access publications and restitution meetings. This 2nd meeting will go deeper into the politics of knowledge regarding Pacific oceanscapes through guest presentations, discussions and round tables. It aims to support regional dialogue and discuss ways to make this neutral arena sustainable. This multi-stakeholder forum will bring together governments, technical departments, customary authorities, NGOs, civil society, scientists, and companies.
