Five Ocean Decade Collaborative Centres (DCCs) and three new Ocean Decade Implementing Partners (DIPs) will provide targeted support to the Ocean Decade through a coordination and catalysis role for Decade Actions at the regional or thematic level.
Decade Collaborative Centres and Decade Implementing Partners are institutions that are committed to the vision and mission of the Decade. They make significant and sustained efforts to support the Decade by coordinating existing Decade Actions, catalysing new initiatives, leading targeted communications and outreach, and mobilising resources.
Decade Collaborative Centres
Announced as part of the newly endorsed Ocean Decade Actions, the five DCCs will further the multistakeholder and multiscale co-design and co-delivery of ocean action.
동북태평양 10년 협력 센터(DCC-NEPO)
The Northeast Pacific Ocean Basin is an ideal region for a DCC. Within the Northeast Pacific region there are important domains that cross US and Canadian National borders. This region is one of the most productive regions on Earth, hosting rich biodiversity from the coastline, to the open ocean, to the deep sea, and supporting human communities for millennia. There are many active existing networks of research and observing organizations, industries, government entities, and coastal communities that are working to inform sustainable development related to the ocean. In addition, there is increased recognition of the importance of elevating Indigenous and other under-served communities in co-developing and mobilizing ocean knowledge for sustainable development. Improved coordination of these diverse programs and partners is needed to launch new initiatives and support implementation of the Ocean Decade. An active DCC in this region can help support coordination as well identify best practices, principles, and lessons that can be applied in other regions around the globe.
The DCC for the Northeast Pacific Ocean (DCC-NEPO) will be hosted by the Tula Foundation in British Columbia, Canada. It will work across all ten Ocean Decade Challenges in the Northeast Pacific region. In addition to its regional focus that will encompass all Ocean Decade Challenges, the DCC-NEPO will have a particular focus on supporting and mobilizing participation by Indigenous peoples and local communities and the development of Indigenous-led Decade Actions.
Ocean Visions – UN Ocean Decade Collaborative Centre for Ocean-Climate Solutions (DCC-OCS)
Understanding the nexus of the ocean and climate crises and developing ocean-based solutions are critical to the Ocean Decade. The primary focus of the DCC-OCS is on leading and supporting processes to co-design, develop, test, and ultimately deploy scalable, equitable ocean-based solutions to mitigate and reverse the effects of climate change (Challenge 5). To advance this mission, this Collaborative Centre will engage with a global set of stakeholders and institutions to connect those with the capacity for generating new science and engineering knowledge to those with capacity to develop and test innovations and solutions (Challenge 4). Among the system-level challenges targeted by the Ocean Visions – UN DCC-OCS are ocean-based solutions to ameliorating climate change, enhancing food security (Challenge 3), and building the climate resiliency of critical marine ecosystems and coastal communities (Challenges 1 and 2).
The DCC is hosted by a partnership between Ocean Visions, Georgia Tech, and the Georgia Aquarium in the United States. They will coordinate Decade Actions focused on solutions at the ocean-climate nexus across all regions and ocean basins. It will work in close collaboration with other Decade coordination structures focusing on different aspects of the ocean-climate nexus.
Decade Collaborative Centre for Ocean-Climate Nexus and Coordination amongst Decade Implementing Partners in P.R. China (DCC-OCC)
The DCC-OCC will support endorsed and emerging Decade Actions to address Decade Challenge 5 – Enhancing understanding of the ocean-climate nexus and generate knowledge and solutions to mitigate, adapt and build resilience to the effects of climate change across all geographies and at all scales. It 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.
The DCC is hosted by 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).
해양 예측을 위한 10년 협력 센터(DCC-OP)
Due to the cross-cutting nature of ocean modelling and prediction, the DDC-OP will support endorsed and emerging Programmes that address Decade Challenges 2 through 9, across all ocean basins. The Centre will coordinate Decade Actions to enhance collaboration, promote concrete action and avoid duplication of modeling and prediction efforts among the diverse stakeholders that contribute to the Ocean Decade. This work will be done in direct collaboration with the Decade Coordination Unit, the Decade Collaborative Offices for Ocean Observation and Ocean Data Sharing, as well as other DCCs – in particular, the DCC for Coastal Resilience (see below) and relevant National Decade Committees, and Decade Implementing Partners.
The DCC-OP will facilitate the structuring and engagement of the ocean prediction community through a collective framework to be established with partners around a common vision and agenda, standardized methods, mutually reinforcing activities that cut across programmes, silos and value-chain elements, and open, continuous communications. The DCC-OP will act as a coordinating forum to facilitate interactions by providing technical, logistical, and financial support for collaborative actions and to track progress towards agreed goals.
The DCC-OP will also unite Decade and non-Decade programmes and organizations to develop and implement joint training, outreach, and capacity development activities for global and regional engagement.
The DCC is hosted by Mercator Ocean International in France.
Decade Collaborative Centre for Coastal Resilience (DCC-CR)
The DCC-CR will support endorsed and emerging Programmes to primarily address Challenge 6 – Increase community resilience to ocean hazards and will be broad, based across a range of disciplines, fully addressing at least six of the ten Decade Challenges, and covering many aspects of the other four.
Thanks to a contribution by the University of Bologna to host the DCC-CR, the Centre will be comprised of physical offices in Italy but will be led by both a Program Committee and International Advisory Board to represent the interests of all community members.

Heirs to Our Ocean (H2OO) is a US-based charity with a mission to help youth understand the role they can play in creating a healthier, safer world for all. Through capacity developing events, workshops and initiatives, H2OO works with youth from around the world to help them develop their knowledge and skills needed to tackle the challenges facing the world through intersectional solutions.
Through previous work with the US National Decade Committee, H2OO has developed a toolkit and guidelines for implementing Ocean Decade Youth Advisory Councils. These are groups of youth who engage with the Decade at the national level to support the catalyzation of Decade Actions, and other local initiatives contributing to the Decade. As a DIP, H2OO will act as a consulting body for National Decade Committees to use as a resource as they set up their own Youth Advisory Councils.
Additionally, H2OO serves as a mechanism through which to engage a broad audience of youth, amplify the voices of youth in the context of the Decade, and offer capacity development in areas crucial to movement building, such as public speaking training, leadership skills workshops, and providing organizational support for youth summits.
