| Abstract: | 2023 marks the beginning of the third year of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, and we are now at a moment in time where we can start taking stock of the Ocean Decade’s early achievements. The critical role that National Decade Committees are playing at the junction of the global momentum of the Ocean Decade and the national transformation of ocean science is clear and extremely encouraging. I warmly congratulate those Member States that have led by example and created the first cohort of National Decade Committees. This Best Practice Manual for National Decade Committees is an opportunity to celebrate their dynamism, share their vision and successes, and encourage the establishment of new Committees across all 150 IOC/UNESCO Member States. The ambition of the Ocean Decade is to transform ocean science for the decades to come, thereby creating a step change in the relationship of all citizens to the ocean, and in the way that a healthy ocean contributes to sustainable development. National Decade Committees are essential to catalyse the transformation of ocean science by boosting national capacity to offer solutions to pressing challenges and working across the science-policy-society interface to inform decision makers and society at large. By bringing together diverse stakeholders and breaking down silos, National Decade Committees create a tangible and visible difference on the ground. Beyond their role to coordinate existing initiatives and catalyse new Decade Actions, National Decade Committees embody the core principles of the Ocean Decade including equity, inclusivity, and diversity, and the recognition of the importance of Indigenous and local knowledge systems. They have a particularly significant role in giving a seat at the table to Early Career Ocean Professionals, who will be the torch bearers of the legacy of the Ocean Decade post-2030.I hope that the diverse and rich experiences shared in this Manual will inspire many other Member States to actively participate in the Ocean Decade by setting up their own National Decade Committees. The existing cohort of National Decade Committees and the IOC/UNESCO stand ready to facilitate the involvement of new partners, while supporting the pioneers to go even further, and thus together achieve a key goal of the Ocean Decade to make sure no one is left behind in the endeavour to create the ocean we want by 2030. |
