The Government of the Republic of Palau has now announced the postponement of the Our Ocean Conference 2020, previously scheduled to be held from 17-18 August in Koror, Palau. The new dates will be 7-8 December 2020.
“As the global dialogue turns to how to build back better, we must also implement blue recoveries, and take the opportunities to scale up ambition towards a sustainable ocean economy. The Our Ocean Conference 2020 will be the place to showcase partnership and commitments towards this blue recovery,” said President Tommy E. Remengesau, Jr., President of the Republic of Palau.
Our Ocean 2020 will focus on six Areas of Action, convening partners from across the globe to identify solutions and make commitments to manage marine resources, increase the ocean’s resilience to climate change and safeguard its health for generations to come.
The conference invites governments, civil society organisations and businesses to submit new commitments, updates on previous commitments, and proposals for side events from June 2020 onwards.
Invitations to participate and a provisional conference agenda will be issued in September 2020. Further information will be posted on the Our Ocean Conference 2020 website in due course.
