The OBPS Workshop VII, 2023 will explore the 10 selected challenges set by the UN Ocean Decade and the ways that Ocean best practices support some “common” solutions for collective impact. We welcome UN Ocean Decade Actions and Programmes participation.
The online free workshop will be divided into two sessions per day, each session of ninety minutes (each day about 3.5 hours in total)
In the week following the Workshop, Focus Sessions have been organized by groups to discuss their challenges and coordination.
