Message from the President of OSII am delighted that we chose Lima as the venue of the inaugural

conference and launch event for our organization to kick-start

development of its projects and activities within the framework

of South-South Dialogue. The fact that this forum is taking pla-

ce on the eve of the 20th Conference of Parties (COP20) of

the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Chan-

ge (UNFCC) signifies that OSI is not reinventing the wheel but

rather seeks to disseminate and exchange good practices and

innovative strategies with its partners throughout the world. We

do so because we believe that people from Africa, Asia, Central

America and the Caribbean, and South America can learn much

from their respective successes and failures and, and are keen

to see the good practices replicated.

With the current economic crisis still looming large, we consi-

-

raging and strengthening public private partnerships (PPP). The

private sector has a great deal to contribute and the imminent

launch of our corporate advisory board will signify one impor-

tant step in this direction. OSI is also in the process of setting up,

a screening committee within its scientific and academic board

to certify products which are environmentally friendly; this will

assist in protecting the coastal and marine environment, as well

as building communities that are more resilient, better prepared

and able to respond to natural disasters and adaptation to cli-

mate change.

I wish to place on record my deepest thanks to our political

leaders, members of our Policy Advisory Board, as well our

eminent scientists and I look forward to a joint meeting of our

board members on the eve of the OSI Conference. The Con-

ference will be streamed live, and the results will be published

electronically and disseminated through social media after the

Conference.

We are also excited to enter into a strategic alliance with the

Government of South Africa and the provincial Government of

KwaZulu-Natal, in the wake of Operation Phakisa, announced

by the President Jacob Zuma. Having worked for several de-

cades in 26 countries of North and Sub-Saharan Africa, I look

forward to making my own personal contribution to this pro-

cess. Also, we look forward to working closely with the Pedro

Pires Institute on Leadership, established by the former Presi-

dent of Cape Verde and our eminent member, Mr. Pedro Pires

in linking the continents of Africa with the countries with large

populations of African descent in the Central America, the Cari-

bbean and South America. My special thanks go to the Climate

Change Commissioner Heherson Alvarez and the indefatigable

Mrs. Cecile Guidote Alvarez for carrying the torch of OSI in Sou-

th East Asia and in the UN system, and to the President Vinicio

Cerezo whose Fundacion Esquipulas has been our chief ally in

Central and South America, including linkages with “Presidential

Mission” of 20 former heads of state of Central and South Ame-

rica, whose second Forum I had the pleasure in attending earlier

in November in Asuncion.

Last, but not the least, I express my sincerest thanks to our fi-

nancial sponsors without whose cooperation our work would

not have been possible. We look forward to the launch at Lima

of what we call Mission 150, because it will unfold in some 150

countries following our establishment of focal points in Africa,

the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Tokyo and Cartagena de

Indias in Colombia.

The state of the world’s oceans will determine the

health of the global community. Whether that be

economic health, environmental health, or sustaina-

ble agricultural productivity,

almost too late for the global community to “right”

the “wrongs” we have dumped upon this life-giving

force of water. But “right” it we must. That is why I

am so supportive of OSI for bringing together gover-

nments, scientists, and advocates to work coopera-

tively in setting a higher order of best practices for

ocean use, conservation and preservation.

Message from H.E. benigno s. Aquino iii,

President of the Philippines

My warmest greetings to the Climate Change Commission and

its partners in establishing the Ocean Security International as

you hold your 1st Planning Meeting.

Climate change has an undeniable impact on our lives and pre-

sents us with profound challenges in disaster management, ur-

ban planning, and various other ecological disciplines. The global

nature of this phenomenon requires greater solidarity among the

members of the international community, and our reinforced ties

with Colombia now build upon our shared endeavors of sustai-

nable development. As we synergize our initiatives to promote

renewable energy and protect our precious water resources, we

also forge deeper political, cultural, and socioeconomic ties with

the region of the Caribbean and Latin America, with whom our

country is linked by history. May this assembly advance our cause

to safeguard our ecosystem and keep our communities safe from

the consequences of natural calamities.

Through continuous dialogue with other nations and greater in-

vestment in agriculture, tourism, and infrastructure, the Philippi-

nes remains steadfast in our manifold mission to secure inclusive

growth for our peoples. May our collective insights and passion

for us all.

I wish you an insightful, productive gathering.

The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO welcomes the objective of this Ocean Security International conference focusing on ocean and coastal sustainability in a changing climate.

Sea

While today climate change adaptation has become a global priority, impacts and responses will occur at the local level. A focus on communities is therefore imperative so as to ensure that adaptation aligns with local priorities, is based on community-based observations, and uses synergies between science and traditional knowledge as a springboard for addressing emerging challenges. The exposure of more people to the risks of natural hazards continues to increase as a result of population growth, unplanned or poorly planned urbanization, alteration of the natural environment, substandard dwellings and public buildings, and inadequate infrastructure maintenance. Knowledge concerning global climate change and natural hazards must be enhanced, particularly to fill gaps in the knowledge required by policy-makers to protect people, livelihoods and ecosystems.

Message fromWendy Watson WrightExecutive Secretary,Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO

This should include enhancement of local capacity for risk assessment; education; public awareness; and communication for disaster preparedness and climate change adaptation and mitigation. This is an area where the objectives of both OSI and IOC/UNESCO converge. Actions should stimulate and expand interdisciplinary and intersectoral partnerships, including networks on risk reduction and adaptation at the local, regional and international level. Building the resilience of vulnerable communities, while reinforcing local response strategies rooted in traditional knowledge, is essential for climate change adaptation and will also serve for disaster preparedness. The OSI initiative is to be applauded, since it includes those elements and is based on public, private and civil society sectors’ strong south-south cooperation. At the international level, the IOC has since 1960 been promoting international cooperation and coordinating programmes to improve sustainable management, protect the marine environment, and enhance the knowledge base on climate change, as well as to ensure solid science-policy-society interfaces for informed policy-making. In addition to pursuing its mandate, IOC will work to ensure that the ocean is included in the forthcoming climate negotiations, in particular COP-20 in Lima and COP-21 in Paris next year, in full cooperation with its UN and non-UN partners. Sincerely,

Wendy Watson-Wright Executive Secretary

MESSAGE FROMPEDRO PIRES President of Pedro Pires Institute on Leadership,Former President of Cape Verde

Cape Verde, which I had the honor to lead as its President for

two terms, is a small island nation with an arid climate, little

rainfall virtually no natural resources. Therefore, it is extremely

important to preserve our ecosystem by implementing policy

and innovative techniques in environmental management.

Throughout Cape Verde’s history, our economic survival has

depended on how we manage our coastal and marine resour-

ces, especially through recent steady growth of our tourism in-

dustry. We are an active member of the Small Island Developing

States (SIDS) group, and keen to develop alternative sources of

energy, not only to reduce the dependence on expensive oil,

but also to make our own contribution to reduce emissions of

gases and thus reduce the risk of climate change.

Through investment by the European Investment Bank and Afri-

can Development Bank, a few weeks ago 45 million Euros of

funding to design, build and operate onshore wind farms on

four islands in the Cape Verdean archipelago has been granted.

The ground-breaking project is seen as a model for renewable

energy projects in Africa at large.

As the President of the Pedro Pires Institute for Leadership, I

am also the firm believer in good governance everywhere in

the world, but especially on our continent of Africa is a pre-

requisite for economic and social prosperity and even sound

environmental management. It is for this reason that I greatly

welcomed the work of OSI globally and in Africa, in promoting

South-South Cooperation. I look forward to attending the for-

thcoming OSI Lima conference, organized on the eve of the

20th Conference of Parties to the United Nations framework

Convention on Climate Change, bringing some good practices

and innovative replicable programs to the rest of African, Asian/

Pacific and the Caribbean and Central and South American sis-

ter nations.

I would like to take this opportunity, as Ambassador of UNCCD

for Drylands , to also raise awareness about the land degrada-

tion and drought that is gaining ground worldwide in a accele-

rated way. More than one billion people, including 42% of the

world’s population is very poor and 32% moderately poor, are

environmentally friendly attitudes and public policies aimed at

-

net. Finally, I welcome the recently announced “Phakisa Opera-

tion” of the South African President which envisages marine and

coastal economic development as the backbone of its delive-

rables towards the 2030 National Economic Development Plan.

I sincerely hope that we could also lead a program exploring

closer links between Sub-Saharan Africa and nations of the Ca-

ribbean, central and South America with substantive population

of African origin. I am convinced the OSI Lima Conference will

be a success and I look forward to working with my colleagues

and OSI President on delivering the proposals for concrete pro-

grams which will be designed in Lima

IntroductionThe international conference being held in Lima marks the inauguration of a long-term program of Ocean Security International (OSI) on South-South Dialogue, addressing issues that have an impact on ocean security and re-lated global concerns, such as climate change.

-

th-South Dialogue on defying Disasters that took

place in 2012 under UNESCO patronage with the

partnership of UNISDR at Rio Plus 20 and Doha in

2013. OSI is pleased and honored to have joined

forces with the Government of South Africa in

supporting the initiative entitled “Operation Pha-

kisa”, launched by the President Zuma in order

to find solutions to challenges identified in the

National Development Plan 2030 such as po-

verty, inequality and unemployment. The lynch-

pins of Operation Phakisa is an enhanced use of

the economic potential of South Africa´s three

oceans whilst paying due regard to environmen-

tal concerns, and health, which OSI also regards

as an important aspect of ocean security.

20

The OSI program aims to forge closer links

among the countries of Africa, Asia and the Pa-

cific nations, Central America and the Carib-

bean and South America through identification

of common concerns, lessons learned, environ-

mentally sustainable solutions, exchanges, and

replications of innovative strategies and good

practices, including cross-cultural, inter-cultu-

ral and indigenous sustainable cultural lifestyle/

practices initially on climate change adaptation,

The Lima Conference will be held on the eve of

and on the first day of the 20th Conference of

Parties of the Framework Convention on Climate

change (COP 20, Lima).

Following the inaugural Lima Conference, a re-

view of compliance with targets will be held in

2015 at a comparable conference to be hosted

by a city in South Africa or the Philippines. Hen-

ceforth, from 2016, it is envisioned that follow up

conferences will be held alternating between a

Central American/Caribbean/South American-

city,

.

and cities in Asia/Pacific and Africa. There is al-

ready an existing twin city agreement between

Makati City, Philippines and Medellin, Colombia,

brokered by OSI and its partners in the Philippi-

nes.

Between the inter-sessional periods, OSI will pro-

mote and monitor the continuing exchanges of

innovative strategies and good practices and su-

pport or promote projects that address issues of

regional cooperation.

OSI wishes to place on record its gratitude to the Government of South Africa for the sponsorship of the Conference and the initial pha-se of OSI´s work in the countries involved in South - South dialogue.

21

The OSI program aims to forge closer links among

lessons learned, environmentally sustainable solutions, exchanges, and re-plications of innovative strategies and good practices, including cross-cul-tural, inter-cultural and indigenous sustainable cultural lifestyle/practices initially on climate change adaptation, a primary concern affecting them.

The Lima Conference will be held on the eve of and on the first day of the 20th Conference of

Parties of the Framework Convention on Climate change (COP 20, Lima).

Following the inaugural Lima Conference, a review of compliance with targets will be held in 2015

at a comparable conference to be hosted by a city in South Africa or the Philippines. Henceforth,

from 2016, it is envisioned that follow up conferences will be held alternating between a Central

American/Caribbean/South American city, and cities in Asia/Pacific and Africa. There is already an

existing twin city agreement between Makati City, Philippines and Medellin, Colombia, brokered

by OSI and its partners in the Philippines.

Between the inter-sessional periods, OSI will promote and monitor the continuing exchanges of

innovative strategies and good practices and support or promote projects that address issues of

regional cooperation.

22

Rationale of the ConferenceCountries and local governments can learn a great

deal from each other in addressing global and local

concerns and issues. While some good practices are

already being communicated and exchanged on re-

gional level , more work needs to be done to promote

exchange and replication between and among sou-

th-south tricontinental partnership regions.

The OSI program, which this Conference is inaugu-

rating, aims to promote such exchanges and repli-

cations. In order to move beyond presentations and

debate to actions, OSI, acting as a catalyst and faci-

litator, will promote the funding of concrete projects

that have been proposed by the participants during

the Conference and the program.

This will be pursued principally through Public Priva-

te Partnership (PPP) which is one of cornerstones of

OSI strategy, and of which the partnership with Gover-

nments and institutions in the Philippines and South

Africa is a good example.

23

Expected OutcomesThe inaugural Lima Conference is anticipated to adopt a Lima

Declaration, which will recognize, promote, and help replicate,

as appropriate, the innovative strategies and good practices that

are presented on urbanization and climate change adaptation, in-

cluding mitigation, risk management and disaster response, pro-

tection of the environment, eco-tourism, waste treatment, green

energy, and other related global and regional ocean issues and

concerns such as fish kills, over fishing and contamination of seas.

OSI will endeavor to facilitate funding of some projects and acti-

vities, organize visits and exchanges amongst countries involved

in the South-South Dialogue, and encourage the private sector to

invest in some of the good practices.

The Lima conference will also discuss modalities for establishing a

standing committee, which will coordinate continuing exchange

of innovative strategies and good practices among interested cities
