The event will also engage Atlantic partners in a dialogue to identify the technical needs and challenges of data sharing across the Atlantic ‘pole to pole’\, and work to establish the necessary collaborations between nations and organisations required to jointly address regional and global ocean issues in the coming decade. \nThis side-event will provide an opportunity to begin broad consultations with the ocean data community to further refine the G7 FSOI Action Area 3 activities. \nFor more information and to register\, click here.

The conference participants will include world leaders and other stakeholders from diverse stakeholder groups including science\, industry\, UN agencies\, philanthropy\, governments\, NGOs\, civil society and community leaders\, media\, and arts and humanities. \nA series of “Ocean Decade Laboratories” will provide interactive sessions from mid-2021 until mid-2022 to catalyse partnerships and co-design Decade Actions. The seven participatory Laboratories will foster dialogue on overarching Ocean Decade themes: inclusivity\, solutions-based ocean science\, regional action\, and resource mobilisation\, among others. \nJoin a collective global movement to create the Ocean we Want!

Completion of the planned BGC-Argo system will require establishing collaborations with international partners\, including those beyond the G7 nations. The workshop will celebrate these initial international commitments and discuss how to ensure that the combined investment meets the priorities of the G7 and international funders and stakeholders. The workshop will prioritise next steps with partners to ensure full implementation of the array and the international collaboration required to sustain the array into the future.
