Join this high-level Blue Zone event at the United Nations Ocean Cconference that will focus on sustainable ocean management on a global scale, bringing together heads of state, government officials and high-level participants from regional groups. The event will explore why 100% sustainable ocean management is crucial to safeguarding key ecosystems and securing a more equitable and prosperous future. It will also discuss how achieving this goal can help countries reach other international goals such as the SDGs, the Paris Agreement, and those laid out in the Kunming-Montreal GBF and will feature high-level updates and new commitments from countries joining the 100% Alliance for Sustainable Ocean Management.

The 100% Alliance is a global campaign that calls on all coastal and ocean states to commit to sustainably manage 100% of the ocean areas in their jurisdictions through the development and implementation of Sustainable Ocean Plans. The 100% Approach has been recognized by the leaders of the Pacific Islands have committed to holistic sustainable use of the ocean and to the goal of 100% effective sustainable ocean management of the Blue Pacific Continent. Also, Sustainable Ocean Plans are becoming increasingly recognised as critical in ensuring sustainable ocean management, for example under the UN, through the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO.
