On Thursday 30 June, the “Ocean Decade Forum: Launch of the Decade Collaborative Centre for Ocean Prediction” took place in the backdrop of the United Nations Ocean Conference in Lisbon. The United Nations Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC) announced the launch of several Decade Collaborative Centres (DCCs) during the event. Among these is the OceanPrediction DCC that will be led by Mercator Ocean International (MOi) and will work to galvanise and coordinate efforts towards the co-development and integration of worldwide ocean prediction activities. It serves the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development objectives and is in close collaboration with the Decade endorsed actions and other stakeholders.
