National Decade Committees<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

The National Decade Committees (NDC) were created to facilitate the national coordination of Decade activities. These multi-agency and multi-stakeholder national platforms involve national political and scientific institutions as well as actors interested in the ocean and its management. Existing national coordination mechanisms can provide the foundation for carrying out such functions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n What does the National Committee do? <\/div>\n
\n

The National Decade Committees (NDC) were created to facilitate the national coordination of Decade activities. These multi-agency and multi-stakeholder national platforms involve national political and scientific institutions as well as actors interested in the ocean and its management.<\/p>\n

The active involvement of various stakeholders, including the scientific community, national and subnational governments, United Nations bodies and intergovernmental organizations, businesses and industries, philanthropic foundations, NGOs, and Early Career Ocean Professionals (ECOPs), is essential for the success of the Ocean Decade.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n What is the role of the National Committee? <\/div>\n
\n

The National Committee will engage the national ocean community and facilitate the co-design of initiatives (programs, projects, and contributions) among stakeholder groups that can be approved as Decade actions. It will also facilitate the hosting of sub-regional or regional meetings related to the Decade.<\/p>\n

The Secretariat of UNESCO\u2019s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission has undertaken a structured engagement with the National Decade Committees, beginning to organize regular informal meetings to provide updates on the Decade\u2019s progress, the Decade action approval process, and guidance on various engagement mechanisms, including the Stakeholder Forum, Decade Collaboration Centers, and Decade Implementing Partners.<\/p>\n
