The ocean plays a critical role in regulating the Earth’s climate, sustaining biodiversity, and supporting the livelihoods of billions of people, yet ocean priorities remain insufficient. This high-level luncheon will unite leaders who can embed ocean priorities firmly into climate governance. Through dialogue, shared reflection, and a call to collective action, this event aims to inform policy development, mobilize resources, and strengthen collaboration in the lead-up to COP 30 and beyond.
