Abstract Stakeholder engagement (SkE) in research is currently experiencing significant growth within the fields of environmental and sustainability sciences. ensures relevance questions to societal expectations uptake salience co‐produced knowledge results for their use decision‐making process. In a context challenges regarding biodiversity conservation marine freshwater social‐ecological systems (SESs), participatory approaches constitute key methods applied involving actions decision‐making. There are, however, many gaps practical, conceptual ethical ways stakeholders have been involved research. We propose here systematic map literature on SkE aquatic SESs carried out French European overseas territories, order draw up first comprehensive overview how has developed changed since 1945. This will identify representative list scientific articles The search include both academic (e.g. peer‐reviewed articles, reviews, meta‐analyses) grey reports, working papers) using most relevant engines published between 1945 2023.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development sets out a transformative vision which has yet to be realised SDG14 and oceans. Recognition of the “indivisibility” Goals enhanced integration ocean governance support this transformation, but require at least multidisciplinary, or probably transdisciplinary, approaches. For regions are highly dependent on development finance, powerful leverage point transdisciplinary transformation is in design investments. work presented here identifies features development-financed projects involving substantial amounts research two Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS): Fiji Solomon Islands.

Co-design capacity development for the UN Ocean Decade

Frontiers in Ocean Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 2

Published: May 28, 2024

Effective ocean governance plays a critical role in managing and coordinating human activities, policies, institutions to ensure the sustainable use conservation of marine resources. Recognizing importance effective governance, there is growing awareness that new research approaches are needed bring together actors from academia non-academic sectors. Together they need develop transformative science solutions for more inclusive equitable system. Despite widespread interest this collaborative endeavor, limited resources available provide structured support training. This creates pressing capacity promote shared understanding methodologies, such as co-design. In response development “Co-design Ocean Decade” online training course was launched collaboration with IOC-UNESCO 2022, starting first pilot African region. co-design under Decade framework serves practical research-backed model future programs other regions. The evaluation results reveal its effectiveness enhancing participants' knowledge skills key areas, particularly communication stakeholders. also highlights areas improvement, (i) monitoring evaluation, (ii) follow-up opportunities practice funding support. Based on programs, we recommend: (1) incorporate local regional context into training, (2) integrate education, (3) embed program Decade.
