Call for Initiatives for CSK-2

The CSK-2 provides an international cooperative framework for participating countries, their ocean research institutions, and other interested stakeholders to advance ocean science and technological innovations, leverage resources and research infrastructures, and foster partnerships that can generate the required knowledge on the Kuroshio, its changing conditions, and associated environmental, social, and economic impacts.

The CSK-2 programme will be underpinned by a number of CSK-2 Actions (either project or activity) addressing different aspects of the Kuroshio, which will be developed and carried out by a wide range of stakeholders. The request for endorsement of CSK-2 Actions will be via periodic calls, to ensure alignment of the proposed actions with the CSK-2 objectives and societal outcomes. The Endorsement Criteria for CSK-2 Actions could be found here.

To understand better the CSK-2, you can refer to its Science Action Plan (SAP), and Data and Information Management Plan (DIMP).

Question Title

* 11. To which Ocean Decade Challenge(s) will the proposed CSK-2 Action contribute?

Challenge 1: Understand and map land and sea-based sources of pollutants and contaminants and their potential impacts on human health and ocean ecosystems, and develop solutions to remove or mitigate them.

Challenge 2: Understand the effects of multiple stressors on ocean ecosystems, and develop solutions to monitor, protect, manage and restore ecosystems and their biodiversity under changing environmental, social and climate conditions.

Challenge 3: Generate knowledge, support innovation, and develop solutions to optimise the role of the ocean in sustainably feeding the world’s population under changing environmental, social and climate conditions.

Challenge 4: Generate knowledge, support innovation, and develop solutions for equitable and sustainable development of the ocean economy under changing environmental, social and climate conditions.

Challenge 5: Enhance understanding of the ocean-climate nexus and generate knowledge and solutions to mitigate, adapt and build resilience to the effects of climate change across all geographies and at all scales, and to improve services including predictions for the ocean, climate and weather.

Challenge 6: Enhance multi-hazard early warning services for all geophysical, ecological, biological, weather, climate and anthropogenic related ocean and coastal hazards, and mainstream community preparedness and resilience.

Challenge 7: Ensure a sustainable ocean observing system across all ocean basins that delivers accessible, timely, and actionable data and information to all users.

Challenge 8: Through multi-stakeholder collaboration, develop a comprehensive digital representation of the ocean, including a dynamic ocean map, which provides free and open access for exploring, discovering, and visualizing past, current, and future ocean conditions in a manner relevant to diverse stakeholders.

Challenge 9: Ensure comprehensive capacity development and equitable access to data, information, knowledge and technology across all aspects of ocean science and for all stakeholders.

Challenge 10: Ensure that the multiple values and services of the ocean for human wellbeing, culture, and sustainable development are widely understood, and identify and overcome barriers to behaviour change required for a step change in humanity’s relationship with the ocean.

Question Title

* 12. Please identify which of the following criteria the CSK-2 Action will contribute to:

Accelerate the generation of knowledge about the Kuroshio and its environmental, social and economic value, and contribute to fulfilling the UN Ocean Decade Challenges.

Contribute to the achievement of CSK-2 objectives: i. improved regional weather forecasts and climate predictions; ii. science-informed fisheries and aquaculture management along the Kuroshio and adjacent regions, including local bays and estuaries.

Endeavor to “co-design and co-deliver” the project with relevant stakeholders to facilitate the uptake of CSK-2 science and knowledge for societal needs.

Provide a feasible implementation plan, including a list of project implementation partners, liaise with the ISG and communicate about the project progress.

Ensure the data and resulting knowledge are shared and deposited as per the CSK-2 data and information management plan.

Integrate capacity development activity as part of the project implementation for younger generation
