Abstract Book 5 PLENARY Session Plenary Session B21014 Ocean Sciences: CHallenges AFTER RIO+20 Luis Valdes1 1Ocean Sciences, IOC-UNESCO Keywords: ocean sciences, Rio+20, international cooperation, sustainable development goals Within the last 20 years the major global initiatives such as the Chapter 17 of Agenda 21 from the first Rio summit and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation have advanced principles, goals, timelines and targets for managing the issues facing the ocean and coasts and the living and non/living resources. Rio 1992 was the starting point for the Global Environmental Change core programmes: the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), the International Geosphere‑ Biosphere Program (IGBP), DIVERSITAS, and the Earth System Science Partnership (ESSP). Since then, several projects, investigating anthropogenic influences on the Earth system were launched and financed. Now we have reached a point where gaps in knowledge need to be identified and a new generation of projects be developed. Rio+20 offered a unique opportunity to define pathways to a safer, more equitable, cleaner, greener and more prosperous world and ocean for all. Several tangible recommendations for action were identified: (i) Rio+20 has place the investigation of the seas and environmental challenges within the context of sustainability, linking ocean management and sustainability to other development challenges (e.g. food security and human wellbeing) in order to re‑shape our knowledge, understanding, values and attitudes to take the future of the planet actively into account. (ii) Many actors intervening in Rio+20, including the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, have highlighted the UN spirit of strengthening research by increasing international cooperation; and the proposals and commitments for ocean science were summarized in the document ‘The future we want’. (iii) There was widespread support among countries for the formulation of a Sustainable Development Goal dedicated to the ocean. The presentation will focus on the Rio+20 commitments for ocean science, but will discuss as well the problems we face, the barriers to break down in order to implement these commitments and to embrace integrated ocean and coastal management for a sustainable development of economic activities in our coasts and oceans.

Abstract Book 9 Plenary Session B21002 JOINT Programming Initiative “HealtHY AND Productive Seas AND Oceans” Kathrine Angell-Hansen1, a, Gilles Lericolais2, b 1Director JPI Oceans the Research Council of Norway, Rue du Trône 130, BE-1050 Brussels 2Director, European and International Affairs – IFREMER, 155, rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau – 92138 Issy-les-Moulineaux Cedex France, Alternate Member JPI Oceans Management Board [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: research programming, European cooperation, marine sciences The concept of Joint Programming The Joint Programming concept was introduced by the European Commission in 2008 as one of five initiatives for implementing the European Research Area. Joint Programming is a comprehensive, long‑term and strategic process in which participating countries cooperate to tackle societal challenges that cannot be solved solely on the national level. Why? Joint Programming is intended to increase the efficiency of national public research & development spending by enhancing and improving cross‑border collaboration, coordination and integration of national research activities. It aims to boost Europe’s ability to address major economic and societal challenges whose resolution depends critically on research. How? Member States and Associated Countries are invited to engage on a variable‑geometry basis in order to define, develop and implement common strategic research agendas based on a common vision in order to tackle common societal challenges. Importantly, JPIs are flexible and free in choosing the means to implement this end (see below). Joint Programming is, therefore, about defining common visions and strategic research, infrastructure and innovation agendas as a basis for long‑term cooperation and implementing them with fit for purpose solutions. What is JPI Oceans? – The Joint Programming Initiative Healthy and Productive Seas and Oceans (JPI Oceans) is the only high‑level strategic body that exists, to provide a long‑term integrated approach to marine and maritime research and technology development in Europe. – JPI Oceans is a coordinating and integrating platform across disciplines and sectors, open to all EU Members and Associated Countries. – The authority of JPI Oceans lies in the high‑level management board which consists of representatives of 18 member countries appointed for their ability to agree on joint action plans and potential funding initiatives across Europe (ministries and research funding agencies). 10 MARES2020. Abstract Book Plenary Session Fit for purpose solutions Joint Programming is a flexible process, which allows participating countries to cooperate and implement joint activities in a quick and uncomplicated manner. JPI Oceans is being implemented through an interactive involvement of relevant stakeholders (e.g. researchers, technologists, industry representatives, policy‑makers and civil society), in order to ensure the relevance and coherence of its work. JPI Oceans acts to achieve its goals and objectives (see below) by (i) defining a societal challenge together with the identified stakeholders (ii) analysing the needs and gaps related to the challenge (iii) implementing fit for purpose solutions to address the issue (see Annex 1 for an illustrative example). What form the solution might take depends entirely on the challenge at hand. JPI Oceans will try and implement the most effective and appropriate action, which could include but not be limited to, devising common research, innovation, infrastructure and monitoring strategies and programmes; developing science‑to‑policy mechanisms; sharing of human capacity, data and infrastructures; thematic workshops (e.g. on modelling), strategic workshops (e.g. on policy issues) and conferences; joint calls; common programmes; networks of organisations, institutional agreements, etc. The action can take on any form that is deemed relevant and necessary to solve the given challenge.
