2022 United Nations Ocean Conference side event: From ocean knowledge to action: Developing capacity to create a sustainable ocean economy
Background note: It is only through synchronous layers of capacity development – from entry-level approaches for the wider public to knowledge-sharing between experts and high-level decision-makers and government officials – that the diffusion of Ocean Knowledge will turn into Ocean Action. While the urgency and timeliness of capacity development has been increasingly acknowledged internationally and regionally, knowledge on the ocean economy remains somewhat fragmented.
