In 2017, the first UN Ocean Conference shone a spotlight on pressing ocean issues and galvanized momentum to accelerate action for ocean health and the well-being of people and planet. The conference led to over 1,300 voluntary commitments from actors around the globe but effective, strategic collaboration and engagement is needed to turn commitments into action.
This impact area supports the cross-cutting projects and the other impact areas by leveraging the convening power of the Forum to drive the business and policy transformations necessary for a sustainable ocean economy that supports nature, people, and climate.
