Press invitation - What to expect from the UN Ocean Conference? Press Briefing

PRESS INVITATION   What to expect from the UN Ocean Conference? Press Briefing   UNESCO invites you to a press briefing on the major issues at stake at the 3rd United Nations Conference on the Oceans (UNOC3), to be held in Nice from 9 to 13 June. With marine ecosystems under increasing threat, our experts will outline the key measures expected from the Conference in terms of ocean research, education and protection.   What? Two online press briefings will be held, in French and in English, gathering experts from UNESCO and partner organisations. When? Tuesday 27 May, 10:00 CET (French) and 16:00 CET (English) Please register here: https://forms.office.com/e/q9mDBRinQ7   The ocean plays an essential role in sustaining life on Earth, as the vital regulator of global environmental balance, as a source of biodiversity and natural resources, as a key driver of economic exchange, and a crucial link between countries and communities. Yet today, it is facing increasing pressure from threats including climate disruption, pollution, and the unsustainable use of marine resources.   To meet these challenges, UNESCO has been leading the United Nations Decade of Ocean Sciences for Sustainable Development since 2021, which has already allowed the launch of more than 700 projects worldwide and raised $1.5 billion in funding.   As part of this Decade, France and Costa Rica will be hosting the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) in Nice from 9 to 13 June 2025.   What will be the key highlights of this major international gathering? What priorities will be championed? What outcomes can we hope for?   This press briefing will offer an opportunity to explore these questions with UNESCO experts.   Press contact François Wibaux, f.wibaux@unesco.org, +33 1 45 68 07 46   UNESCO Newsroom All our press releases   Social media
