Online meeting
As a stepping stone towards the UN Ocean Conference, the UN Global Compact, together with UN partners, will convene a High-Level Meeting on Sustainable Ocean Business and the 2030 Agenda.
Senior executives from business, academia, civil society, the United Nations and Governments will be invited to participate in a multi-stakeholder dialogue on the role of businesses and governments to ensure a more healthy and productive ocean by 2030.
A new world will emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. Political and business leaders can rebuild a better world by paving the way for a more sustainable and resilient world economy, a society marked by less inequality, and set a global path towards limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C. By keeping essential trade moving between nations, and providing sustainable energy and healthy food for all, the ocean will undoubtedly play an essential role in this process of recovery and rebuilding. The UN Global Compact’s Ocean Stewardship 2030 report provides a roadmap, for governments and businesses, on the role of the ocean for the world to recover better and deliver the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development.
Based on the findings of the report Ocean Stewardship 2030, the session will be organized around the 5 Tipping Points for a Healthy and Productive Ocean:
- Sustainable Seafood
- Set Sail for Decarbonized Shipping
- Harnessing Ocean Electricity
- Mapping the Ocean
- End Waste Entering the Ocean
