Accelerating Blue Action: Blue Pacific Ocean Pathway to COP31
The Blue Pacific has repeatedly conveyed to the world the vital importance of the ocean to its peoples - their identity, culture and livelihoods. Since UNFCCC COP23, the Pacific has…
Listening to Nature: Harnessing eDNA and Storytelling for Ocean and Climate Action
This interactive session brings science and storytelling together to explore how we can better listen to the ocean. Featuring films and discussion on environmental DNA, biodiversity, and climate change, it…
Challenges for Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal in the High Seas
To stem the tide of the global climate crisis, we need to shift away from our fossil fuel-based economies. But this is not enough. We must also develop methods to…
Brazilian Stories: From the Forest to the Sea
The interconnection between the Amazon Basin and the ocean is not always clear or widely reported, but many researchers, journalists and local communities are starting to join the dots. Join…
Pacific Solutions are Global Solutions
The Blue Pacific has long been a global leader in ocean stewardship and climate diplomacy. This event will showcase Pacific-led ocean-climate solutions and identify opportunities to invest in Pacific solutions…
The One Ocean Science Congress : Science at the UN Ocean Conference to make the difference
The One Ocean Science Congress organized by IFREMER and CNRS in June 2025 in Nice, France, was the first ever UN Ocean Conference Special Event dedicated to Science. Representing the…
Blue Carbon Collaboration: Sharing Japan’s Coastal Solutions with Asia and Beyond (Including Marine CDR Pathways)
Macroalgal ecosystems—especially seaweed beds, kelp forests, seaweed farms, and mangroves—are fast-cycling coastal carbon engines. As nature-led, low-risk climate-repair options, they require rigorous MRV and lifecycle checks, and should be assessed…
Ethical Pathways Ocean Solutions: Guiding Principles for Responsible Climate Intervention Research
The ocean plays a vital role in regulating Earth's climate, yet new scientific approaches to address climate change in marine environments raise complex ethical, governance, and equity concerns. This panel…
Neptune Mission: Navigating the High Seas from Nice to Belém
The event introduces the Neptune Mission - a new global initiative launched at UNOC3 to accelerate ocean exploration and support its sustainable governance. Focusing on Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction, Neptune…
Funding Strategies to Promote the Science We Need for the Ocean We Want
The cross-cutting role of oceans in promoting sustainability, including the ocean-climate nexus, relies heavily on scientific foundations that need strengthening and diversification. This requires sustained and innovative funding schemes tailored…
Protecting Ocean Ecosystems: Marine Protected Areas Essential Piece in Climate Change Resilience
This session explores how Marine Protected Areas safeguard climate sinks, protect biodiversity, and build resilience in a changing ocean. Through examples of leadership and collaboration, it highlights how protection of…
Top 5 Ocean Action Items to Watch at COP30
In this student-led panel, Scripps Institution of Oceanography researchers will share their perspectives on the most pressing issues facing our ocean and what we would like to see come out…
Tides of Collaboration: Safeguarding Ocean Climate Science Amid Policy Shifts
As U.S. climate policy shifts, researchers and institutions worldwide are stepping up to sustain momentum. This panel highlights efforts to preserve the scientific foundation of climate resilience, including a new…
Elevating Voices: Co-Designing Research with Critical Communities for Science-Policy Impact
Co-designing projects with critical partners can enable projects to be conducted equitably, align with interdisciplinary priorities, and involve communities while disseminating science to help decision-making and technical/social innovation. This open…
Measuring What Matters: Ocean Metrics for a Nature- and People-Positive Energy Transition
Offshore wind and electricity grids are vital to tripling global renewable energy, but they must advance in harmony with ocean life and coastal communities. This session, organised by GINGR, the…
Aligning Science, Policy, and Safeguards for Ocean-based Carbon Removal (oCDR)
The ocean is profoundly affected by climate change and a source of solutions. To stay within 1.5°C, the IPCC has confirmed that carbon removal is needed. Ocean scientists, policy experts,…
Scaling Land & Ocean Carbon Sequestration through Blue Economy & Finance
This event will explore how soil- and marine-based carbon sequestration solutions can be scaled and financed across agriculture, forestry, and ocean-based approaches. With the blue economy emerging as one of…
Integrating Cryosphere Science into Nature-Based Climate Strategies to Enhance Ocean Resilience
Accelerating loss of ice, glaciers, snow, and permafrost is raising seas, disrupting circulation, deepening acidification, and fueling extremes. In our session we are trying to traces these ocean impacts and…
Research for Sustainable Ocean-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal
To limit global warming, greenhouse-gas emissions need to be reduced drastically. To balance hard-to-abate emissions, a range of marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) approaches are envisaged. They can also contribute…
Charting the Course: Collaborating for Marine Biodiversity and Ocean Health
What will it take to turn ambition into action for ocean health? This COP30 panel brings together leaders from shipping, government, finance, science, and conservation to explore the ideas, investments,…
