Global Ocean Policies – Sustainable use and blue growth
Evenemang
The oceans are the lifeblood of our planet. They offer huge potential for human development. Ensuring their sound management and sustainable use is a vital part of our work to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In the decades ahead, the world’s population will need more food, medicines, energy, minerals and other resources. Clear rules and stable framework conditions are necessary for peaceful cooperation between countries, blue growth, and sound management.
How can we ensure closer coordination between the various ocean initiatives and actors in the time ahead?
