The Decade Coordination Centres (DCCs) offer specialised, long-term assistance in coordinating Decade Actions at the regional (i.e., major ocean basins) or thematic (i.e., Decade Challenges) categories. They facilitate new partnerships and initiatives as part of the Decade and support Decade Actions through resource mobilisation, communications, capacity building, and progress tracking. GEMS Ocean is a part of the UN Ocean Decade Collaborative Centre on Ocean Prediction as an endorsed Ocean Decade Programme.
