Learning Opportunities

Building capacity in ocean accounting through training, workshops, and community learning

The Global Ocean Accounts Partnership offers a range of learning opportunities to support countries and practitioners implementing ocean accounting. From introductory webinars to advanced technical training, we provide the knowledge and skills needed to develop robust ocean accounts.

Our capacity building approach combines global training programs with regional Communities of Practice, enabling peer-to-peer learning and knowledge exchange tailored to local contexts.
