OceanX and UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission in its role as coordinator of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) are co-hosting a pavilion in the Blue Zone of the UNFCCC COP28.
The Pavilion aims to promote the role of science, media, technology and education to achieve ocean solutions for climate action and sustainable development. It has been developed as an informal space that will provide an opportunity for partners to showcase innovative ocean solutions for climate action and to engage in deep and impactful dialogue that will contribute to the global climate agenda, through:
Ocean Climate Spotlights: Join us every day from 2nd December onwards between 2 and 3pm for the Spotlights! Grab a tea or coffee and listen to a series of short presentations where partners will present their work on innovative ocean climate science solutions and interact with the audience.
Special Events: Special events will be open to the public and will showcase new partnerships and initiatives, as well as conversations with leading experts working on ocean-climate solutions. Seating is limited for these sessions which will allow an intimate conversation between speakers and the audience so make sure you come early to secure your spot!
Ocean Climate Solutions Dialogues: These invitation-only sessions bring together 10 – 12 expert and thought leaders from diverse backgrounds in an informal and relaxed atmosphere to explore specific issues related to the role of ocean science, media, technology and education in climate action.
The times indicated are in UAE standard time.
The Ocean Decade + OceanX Pavilion is on the first floor of Building 87 in Zone B7. If you come up the stairs as you come in the main door of the building you can’t miss it!
