Abstract Knowledge co-production offers a promising approach to design effective and equitable pathways reach development goals. Fisheries Strategies for Changing Oceans Resilient Ecosystems by 2030 (FishSCORE), United Nations Ocean Decade programme, will co-produce knowledge that advances solutions climate resilient fisheries through networks partnerships include scientists, stakeholders, practitioners, managers, policy experts. FishSCORE establish (1) global network develop broadly relevant information tools assess operationalize resilience in marine (2) local regional apply those identify forward context-specific strategies. FishSCORE's activities be guided set of core principles commitments inclusivity, equity, co-leadership, co-ownership, reciprocity. focus on identifying fisheries, it also advance goals associated with capacity, power, agency support iterative, pluralistic approaches decision-making experiencing ongoing climate-driven changes. This process co-producing strategies requires considerable investments time from all partners, which is well aligned the Decade. However, secure funding must prioritized implement over this long horizon.
