The Ocean Cities Network (OC-NET) is a ten years programme (two phases 2021-2025 and 2026- 2030) endorsed by the Ocean Decade of the COI-UNESCO to promote the coastal communities of the future managed by means of the stakeholders collaboration and the science-based policy. The OC‐NET effectively contributes to identify and exploit the science we need for the cities and the ocean we want: ocean knowledge and data, scientific and technological capacity, and innovative and transformative solutions. OC‐NET is an inclusive programme carried with and for the people, promoting bottom‐up collaboration of all actors and endorsing policy dialogue towards effective policies that set the city border well beyond the shoreline. OC-NET aims on three lines of work: 1. HEALTH promoting actions under the global health approach through research, monitoring and restoring marine systems; 2. CULTURE promoting the territorial linkage, the traditional ecological knowledges (TEK) and the ocean literacy; 3. JUSTICE to allow a faire socio-ecological transition to the coastal cities of 2030.
