UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC)
The IOC promotes scientific research on ocean natural phenomena and resources, and promotes ocean management in participating countries and internationally through the sharing of scientific knowledge and technology.This is an intergovernmental commission established within the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) with the purpose of The International Collaborative Research Division contributes to IOC activities by sending chairs and committee members to the Japanese government delegation. We also contribute to the activities of the IOC Western Pacific Regional Subcommittee (WESTPAC).
On December 31, 2020, the United Nations recognized the implementation plan for the United Nations Decade of Marine Science for Sustainable Development at the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly. In 2017, we have set out to promote the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly ocean-related goals such as SDG 14 (Save the oceans). Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute will promote the "Decade of Marine Science" in cooperation with domestic and international research institutes and related ministries and agencies.
