CCOP Strategic Plan 2021-2025

Vision  

“To be the Leading Intergovernmental Geoscience Organization for Sustainable Development in East and Southeast Asia”

 

Mission

To work together on advancing geoscience for better lives on a future earth, in-line with the goals of international conventions including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sendai Framework, and the Paris Agreement, through: The application of geoscience knowledge and provision of technical solutions, provision of advice and geoinformation for economic development and sustainable management of the national resources and environment; Adapting to digital transformation in geoscience for future earth; and The promotion of education, capacity building and outreach.

STRATEGIC AIMS

CCOP should play a leading role regionally in supporting national geoscience organizations contribution to the individual country achievements in meeting the goals of the international conventions, including, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN SDGs), the Sendai Framework for Disaster Reduction 2015-2030, and the Paris Agreement, as guided by its Member Countries. The strategic aims for this strategy are identified as:

1. Provision of Geoscience Solutions, Advice and Reliable Information through
2. Cooperation and Partnership
3. Adapting to Digital Transformation in Geoscience for Future Earth
4. Promotion of Geoscience Education, Capacity Building and Outreach.

STRATEGIC AIM I:
PROVISION OF GEOSCIENCE SOLUTIONS, ADVICE AND RELIABLE INFORMATION THROUGH COOPERATION AND PARTNERSHIP

Focuses:

• Geohazards and resilience: georisk assessment, disaster risk reduction, and climate change adaptation (SDGs 11, 13; Sendai Framework & Paris Agreement);
• Establishing an international center of excellence (ICE) for sustainable resources management (e.g., UNFC, ICE); to establish (harmonizing) standards for sustainable development in the region, and to bridge development gaps among MCs (SDGs 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13);
• Energy & mineral resources; marine geology; groundwater; global climate change; urban geology, etc. (SDGs 6, 7, 8, 11, 12);
• Cooperation and partnership: coordinate with other international organizations, e.g., ASOMM, in cooperating with the ASEAN Mineral Cooperation Action Plan 2016-2025 (AMCAP-III), as a strategic partner (SDGs 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13);
• Promotion of geoscience for sustainable agriculture: e.g., groundwater and geo-resources for food security (SDGs 2, 6, 8, 11, 12, 13)

STRATEGIC AIM II:
ADAPTING TO DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN GEOSCIENCE FOR FUTURE EARTH

Focuses:

• Developing digital culture and capability;
• Digitally transformed geoscience data management;
• Cloud technology for interoperable geoscience data consolidation;

(SDGs: 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13)

STRATEGIC AIM III
Promotion of Geoscience Education, Capacity Building and Outreach

Focuses:

• Workshop, seminar, training, education for capacity building and expert exchange that aligned with the Member Countries’ needs, e.g., KIGAM IS-Geo, GSJ International Training Course, and China-ASEAN Geoscience College (SDGs: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 & 17);
• Strengthening nurturing system of young geoscientist; Establishing a regional center of YES NETWORK; Opportunity of further higher education for young generation, e.g., IERI Internship, master/PhD course, Chinese higher education opportunity (SDGs: 4, 5, 8, 9, 11 & 17)
• Promotion and encouragement for female geoscientists to participate in related activities. (SDGs: 4, 5, 11& 17);
• Thematic Session for all, with a focus on young earth scientists and geoscience students (SDGs: 4, 5, 11,& 17).
