The Partnership for Observation of the Global Ocean (POGO) was founded in 1999 by directors of oceanographic institutions around the world as a forum to promote and advance the observation of the global ocean. POGO is a UK-registered charity with member institutions from around the world, and works closely with other international and regional programmes and organisations.
POGO seeks to expand international support for ocean observing, through innovation of the ocean observing system, capacity development and outreach/advocacy.

The second United Nations Ocean Conference was co-hosted by the Governments of Kenya and Portugal, in Lison, Portugal, in June 2022.
POGO participated in person and virtually, and co-hosted two side events on Capacity Development and Biomolecular Observations. In addition, the Secretariat coordinated a written statement on behalf of the members and submitted this during the conference, which is available here: https://www.un.org/en/conferences/ocean2022/preparation/stakeholders
