The Virtual Ocean Dialogues can play a pivotal role in maintaining the focus and momentum of ocean action, in light of the necessary postponement of the UN Ocean Conference. A healthy ocean is key to ensuring a strong global recovery. The ocean provides every second breath we take, bolsters food and job security, and is our greatest ally in tackling climate change. Join us for the Virtual Ocean Dialogues and help chart a new course for the ocean.
