Expanding the Global Dialogue
Ocean Visions participates in global forums to elevate and shape the dialogue around potential ocean-climate solutions and connect with the partners, funders, and decision-makers needed to advance them. Recent engagements include:
Conference of the Parties (COP)
We strive to reach and influence a broader community of solvers at the ocean-climate nexus. Engagement highlights include:

COP stands for the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
