Preliminary High Level Program Overview 

We’re working hard to craft an interactive program that will engage a wide range of people, disciplines, and sectors at the forefront of innovation at the ocean-climate nexus.

The Summit is a one-of-kind opportunity to explore, develop, and build collaboration on a comprehensive, cutting-edge agenda to address dangerous climate change from an ocean perspective.

Together we can advance ocean-based solutions to slow and ultimately reverse the causes and impacts of climate disruption – the biggest threats to the future of the ocean.
