Virtual Ocean Dialogues

The Virtual Ocean Dialogues on 1-5 June 2020 are the first online global conference for ocean action. Convened by Friends of Ocean Action with the World Economic Forum, the Dialogues are designed to maintain momentum and connect communities for ocean resilience, innovation and action. The various sessions cover topics ranging from marine protection and the sustainable blue economy, to how the ocean nourishes billions of people and is our greatest ally against climate change.

The Virtual Ocean Dialogues focus on bringing to light ambitious and inspiring solutions, as well as tangible opportunities for positive change.
