SUMMARY:Rethinking the ocean-climate nexus within the UNFCCC
DESCRIPTION:This session aims to stimulate an open discussion on the theme of the ocean at the UNFCCC and to envision a constructive path forward to consolidate the ocean-climate nexus. The primary objectives of the session are to underscore the key role of the ocean in the climate context\, to map existing initiatives and processes within the UNFCCC aimed at integrating the ocean-climate nexus and to evaluate the progress or effectiveness of such action\, and to collectively ruminate on some emerging ideas – such as the introduction of a dedicated ocean agenda item to take stock and ascertain the pathways available\, or the creation of an ocean negotiating group to increase ambition – that could help to further elevate the ocean’s profile within the UNFCCC.

SUMMARY:Coral Reefs at the Climate–Action Frontline: Science\, Finance and Communities for a Resilient Future
DESCRIPTION:Coral reefs are vital to people and nature\, yet they sit on the front line of the climate crisis and urgently need emissions cuts and scaled nature-based adaptation. This event gathers government representatives\, IPLCs\, scientists and NGOs to advance delivery from COP30 to COP31 through reef-positive finance\, inclusive governance and locally grounded science. It will close with remarks from Peter Thomson\, stressing that protecting reefs is central to effective climate action.

SUMMARY:Tackling climate change impacts and promoting sustainable blue economies in Africa
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is harming marine ecosystems and blue economies through rising sea temperatures\, stronger storms\, and droughts that disrupt fish habitats and livelihoods. Pollution\, overfishing\, and weak management worsen vulnerabilities. Effective action requires building capacity\, local adaptation\, financing access\, and integrating climate measures into blue economy policies. Innovation\, cooperation\, and fair benefit sharing are key to sustainab

SUMMARY:Advocating for the Invisible Microbial Majority That Underpins a Healthy Planet
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of all ecosystems on Earth is an invisible network of micro-organisms that support food webs and underpin the ecosystem services upon which we and our planet depend. Microbes inhabit all parts of the planet – from the land to the ocean\, they recycle nutrients\, fuel roughly half of global carbon fixation through photosynthesis\, while supporting the ecosystem services provided by healthy forests\, abundant fisheries\, and sustainable coral reefs. How do we advocate for this unseen majority? From the land to the sea this invisible world is both a player and a stakeholder in what happens next for our planet. Join us as we highlight the latest science\, and discuss how to include this invisible planetary network in a sustainable future. We can’t ignore this invisible world… we are looking for thought partners on how to advocate for this unseen majority.

SUMMARY:The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Advancing Ocean Science\, Sustainability\, and Climate Adaptation
DESCRIPTION:This panel explores how AI revolutionizes ocean science and conservation. Experts demonstrate AI solutions for: Sustainable Fisheries (ML for tracking and anti-poaching efforts)\, Biodiversity (species identification and habitat health)\, Climate Resilience (predictive heatwaves/storms)\, and Pollution Mitigation (AI robots and drones). AI also supports Marine Strategic Planning by synthesizing vast data for optimal resource allocation and guiding global policy. Collaboration is essential.
