Description

The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Comission (IOC) promotes international cooperation and coordinates programmes in research, sustainable development, protection of the marine environment, capacity-building for improved management, and decision-making. It assists developing countries in strengthening their institutions to obtain self-driven sustainability in marine sciences.

The IOC facilitates interagency coordination through the UN-Oceans mechanism and works with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in establishing a process for global reporting and assessment of the state of the marine environment.

Through the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), the IOC helps improve operational oceanography, weather and climate forecasts and monitoring and supports the sustained observing needs of the UNFCCC
