Welcome to the IOC-UNESCO Co-design for the Ocean Decade course, a meticulously structured programme spanning six modules, each dedicated to unfolding the intricacies of co-design in the realm of sustainable ocean development. From a foundational introduction to the nuanced exploration of joint vision setting, stakeholder engagement, partnership cultivation, and sustainability strategies, this course delves deep into the principles and practices pivotal for co-design's success within the Ocean Decade's framework. Enriched with expert insights, quizzes, and diverse learning materials, it aims to equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and collaborative ethos necessary to contribute effectively to the Ocean Decade's ambitious goals, fostering a community of learners poised to drive meaningful change in ocean science and policy.

The experts participating in this series of virtual event recognized that those involved in transdisciplinary research require different skills and knowledge to skilfully carry out each of the stages (co-design, co-production and co-delivery) of transdisciplinary research. Experts’ recommendations include amongst others developing training courses on transdisciplinary research and facilitating their integration into undergraduate and postgraduate curricula. Additionally, building the scientific capacity of the next generation of researchers and professionals (early-career ocean professionals, ECOPs) to develop the right set of skills and manoeuvrer the tools and methods specific to transdisciplinary research, was also encouraged by the group of experts.

Tsunamis are low frequency natural hazards but high impact events that may cause loss of lives and assets.
This online course provides a review of basic tsunami science to provide a basic understanding of the tsunami phenomenon, tsunami hazard and tsunami risk, the tsunami warning process and products, and how coastal communities and individuals can prepare themselves for the next tsunami.

Ce cours explore la Planification de l’Espace Marin/Maritime (PEM), sa relation avec d'autres approches de gouvernance intégrée de l’océan, le processus d'élaboration d'un plan de l’espace marin et comment l’utiliser. Il explore la définition et les éléments d'un plan de l’espace marin efficace d'un point de vue théorique et cherche ensuite à présenter la mise en œuvre de ces approches théoriques dans le cadre du processus de PEM.

Este curso explora la planificación espacial marina/ marítima (PEM), su relación con otros enfoques de gobernanza integrada de los océanos, el proceso de elaboración de un plan espacial marino/marítimo y cómo utilizar un plan espacial marino/marítimo. Explora la definición y los elementos de la planificación espacial marina/marítima efectiva desde una perspectiva teórica y luego presenta cómo se aplican estos enfoques teóricos a través del proceso PEM.

This course covers a wide range of topics related to marine/maritime spatial planning (MSP), including the connections with integrated ocean governance approaches, the process for developing a marine spatial plan, and how to use a marine spatial plan at the global, regional, and local levels. It will explore the definition and elements of an effective MSP from a theoretical perspective and further present how these theoretical approaches are delivered through the MSP process.
