Last February, the international community came together to take ambitious action for the Ocean through the 17 Brest commitments during the One Planet Summit for the Ocean.
The second UN Conference for the Oceans will be the opportunity to present the first concrete results of the actions initiated to implement these commitments.
A One Planet Event dedicated to the ocean agenda: from Brest to Lisbon, will take place at the Belém Cultural Center on 26 June from 13:30 to 15:30. We will be joined by key players of the Ocean agenda to discuss action, results, and forecoming initiatives.
