Ocean observing governance workshop
Summary
The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) has developed an ambitious 2030 Strategy, with a vision for a fully integrated ocean observing system delivering to a broader range of users, through strong partnerships and expanded participation.
The present governance of ocean observing systems has functioned well in tapping into a strong observing community, and is a functioning patchwork of global, regional and local level initiatives. At a global level, GOOS, as an intergovernmental programme, harnesses input from Member States, and connection to other parts of the UN system including WMO, UN Environment, UNCLOS, and global environmental conventions; while building on the patchwork of community-driven initiatives.
However, the present governance arrangements will not be sufficient to realize the ambition of the 2030 Strategy, as they does not optimally connect the different communities, networks, and partners in fully achieving their potential; and generally ignores private sector partnership. It does not allow for a full implementation of the concepts identified in the Framework for Ocean Observing. Better governance will ensure good observing system delivery, responsiveness and sustainability.
The 2030 Strategy and OceanObs'19 Conference (16-20 September 2019) provide an opportunity to develop an expanded common vision for ocean observing system governance, and to work towards implementing it in the coming UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. In order to gain community input to shape the questions and composition for such a governance system, GOOS is organizing several workshops for independent input on the process, calling on leaders of observing system partners, and regional and national observing systems. This workshop will be the initial touch point for developing the ideas around partnership and national structures needed to improve the ocean observing system, with a focus on the governance that will enable this partnership to be responsive and effective.
Initial work in identifying the impediments and considering some different models for the future are a starting point for discussion (Tanhua et al. OceanObs'19 Community White Paper, submitted).
