In collaboration with the Japanese government (MEXT), PICES, AORI and JAMSTEC, the IOC/WESTPAC held the UN Ocean Science Decade Regional Planning Workshop for the North Pacific and Western pacific Marginal Seas in Tokyo from July 31st to August 2nd, 2019. In the planning workshop, more than 160 participants joined from 18 countries, spanning communities from ocean policy and management, ocean science and technology, business and industry, NGOs and civil society, donors and foundations, and various intergovernmental and international bodies/programmes.

This Regional Planning Workshop (RPW) was designed to build dialogues amongst various ocean stakeholders in the region, focusing on the co-development of solution-oriented research strategies to address the Decade six societal outcomes: a clean ocean, a healthy and resilient ocean, a predicted ocean, a safe ocean, a sustainably harvested and productive ocean, and a transparent and accessible ocean. After three days discussion from six working groups, expert leads from the Decade six societal outcomes reported their outputs, and their summary was published at https://www.oceandecade.org/resource/66/Summary-Report-of-the-Regional-Planning-Workshop-for-the-North-Pacific-and-Western-Pacific-Marginal-Seas, and http://iocwestpac.org/calendar/905.html
