Pourquoi participer

Join this high-level session to shape the future of ocean governance, advance global commitments, and explore bold mechanisms like the One Ocean Partnership and Finance Facility. Align climate, biodiversity, and development agendas to drive collective action and unlock transformative solutions for people and planet at the point of impact.

Description de la séance

The ocean and coastal ecosystems face unprecedented pressure from climate change, overfishing, pollution, and biodiversity loss—placing communities and nations at risk. Yet the ocean offers powerful solutions to global crises. Building on the momentum of UNOC3 and the Ocean Breakthroughs framework, this high-level session will spotlight the urgent shift from ambition to action through inclusive governance, ecosystem conservation, and a regenerative blue economy. It will highlight Global South leadership while fostering equitable North–South partnerships. The session will take stock of progress since the 2021 Marseille Manifesto, including the Great Blue Wall initiative, and present the One Ocean Partnership as a bold response to scale transformative solutions. Crucially, it will emphasize the High Seas/BBNJ Agreement, the newest global ocean governance framework, and explore the One Ocean Finance Facility as a mechanism to mobilize investment at scale. Together, governments, Indigenous Peoples, civil society, science, and business can secure a thriving, well-governed ocean.
