Commitments from Ocean Panel member countries were mapped against the Transformations agenda, showing trends from 2017 to 2023
Key Pillars
El panel del océano Transformaciones agenda outlines a set of ambitious, yet practical recommendations to reshape the way we safeguard and utilise the ocean over the next decade—and ultimately manage humanity’s impacts on it—through transformative actions across these 5 key pillars.
Additionally, the relevance and significance of the Ocean Panel’s Transformaciones agenda does not stop at the shoreline. The agenda directly aligns with the Paris Agreement, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and 85 percent of the targets of the Convention on Biological Diversity’s Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.
2023 Showed Increases Across All Pillars by Percentage
Building on the 2022 Progress Report, the Ocean Panel is continuing to make significant progress across all five pillars, with a higher number of voluntary commitments and a greater range of commitments across previously overlooked themes.

Encouraging Progress
A comparison of the commitments made each year against the five areas of the Ocean Panel’s Transformaciones agenda indicates that ocean health priorities are being increasingly complemented with commitments for sustainable production, with intensifying efforts on equitable and inclusive ocean economy.
Continued Assessment
Ocean Panel commitments made at the Our Ocean Conference and the UN Ocean Conference will continue to be tracked and progress will be assessed in upcoming progress reports.
Transformations Agenda Outcomes for 2030
The Ocean Panel’s framework consists of a set of 14 outcomes for 2030 across the five pillars and 74 priority actions to achieve them. While Ocean Panel countries have a shared destination in the 2030 outcomes, the priority actions taken by members to achieve these outcomes may vary based on national circumstances, capacity, and priorities.
