Expected result 12: Member States’ understanding of ocean environment and
related processes in the global climate improved, and skills developed for
adaptation to climate change impacts
Performance Indicators
▪ Level of in situ infrastructure (e.g., floats, buoys,
ship tracks) for GOOS maintained by Member
States
Benchmarks
– maintain 62% as measured by JCOMM
based on GOOS/GCOS targets
▪ Number of peer-reviewed published regional
sea level projections used in the IPCC Fifth
Assessment Working Group I Report (due in
September 2013)
– increase of 10% on baseline of number of
referred peer-reviewed published regional sea
level predictions in IPCC 4AR report (2007)
▪ Number of countries taking steps towards
development of coastal adaptation strategies
and implementation of national or local
measures or both, including with a gender
perspective
– increase of five countries
02053 IOC will leverage the science and capacity to monitor and safeguard the health of ocean ecosystems
and services, by addressing the conservation and sustainable management of coastal resources and
marine biodiversity. In this regard, IOC will continue harmonizing its capacity development activities
according to long-term capacity-development principles that improve the ability of Member States to
apply sound scientific methods to the sustainable management of their resources.
Expected result 13: Capacities of Member States and their national agencies
improved in ocean sciences and services to monitor, assess and manage marine
resources
Performance Indicators
▪ Increase in number of Member States
participating in UN Regular Process for the
global reporting and assessment of the state of
the marine environment
Benchmarks
– at least 50 countries engaged in Regular
Process frameworks
▪ Number of women and men expert/managers
trained by Member States in Ocean Sciences
and services in accordance with IOC capacitybuilding
principles
– at least ten capacity-enhancing workshops
and meetings of regional networks
▪ Increase in the number of agencies and
institutions using information and data from
IODE and OBIS
– ten percent above 2010-2011 levels
▪ Volume of data and information available
through the IOC/IODE data and information
systems, OceanDataPortal and OceanDocs
– twenty percent above 2010-2011 levels
