During an inspiring week in Nice, representatives from Scidrones had the opportunity to engage with key stakeholders at the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC-3). Below are some key takeaways:
🔹 The UN Global Plastic Treaty remains under negotiation — consensus is yet to be reached.
🔹 The European Union is strengthening its leadership through the EU Ocean Pact, which seeks to enhance coherence across EU ocean-related policies.
🔹 The relationship between science and policy remains essential — both must continuously invest in close collaboration to achieve effective results.
🔹 Small, dedicated groups of experts can play a significant role in shaping global decisions — the impact of individual contributions should not be underestimated.
🔹 Policymakers are actively engaged and focused on key questions:
👉 What is the cost?
👉 Who will implement the actions?
👉 What are the timelines?
👉 Who is accountable?
🔹 Dialogue formats at such events can be brief and intense — requiring clear, concise communication.
🔹 The success of a conference is defined by the people, not the venue — impactful exchanges can take place anywhere, even in informal settings.
We are grateful for the connections made, the insightful discussions, and the collective momentum. Scidrones remains committed to contributing to a healthier ocean. 🌊
