Co-producing Sustainable Ocean Plans with Indigenous and traditional knowledge holders
How can a healthy ocean improve human health and enhance wellbeing on a rapidly changing planet?
The High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy (The Ocean Panel) aims to advance a more prosperous and resilient future for people and the planet.
Countries across our blue planet are coming together for a sustainable ocean economy. Nations large and small, across all ocean basins, at every stage of economic development, at every extreme of the ocean environment from the tropics to the arctic.
A healthy ocean is essential for everyone.
Humanity’s well-being is intertwined with the health of the ocean. The ocean stabilizes the climate, sustains us, and leads to greater prosperity.
Transformations: A vision for protection, production and prosperity
The framework for change is laid out in the new ocean action agenda, built upon knowledge and science.
‘Transformations for a Sustainable Ocean Economy’ is the culmination of a historic effort to chart the course towards a sustainable ocean economy and sets out the shared aim to sustainably manage 100% of the ocean area under national jurisdiction, guided by Sustainable Ocean Plans.
Action Groups
Ocean Panel Action Groups are made up of entities from the public, private, financial, research and civil society sectors committed to help accelerate, scale and finance ocean action to help create the change we are striving for.
Why is the ocean important?
The ocean gives us life. It feeds us, entertains us, connects us, inspires us, and powers our success.
