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:
๐น The UN Global Plastic Treaty remains under negotiation โ consensus is yet to be reached.
๐น The European Union is strengthening its leadership through the EU Ocean Pact, which seeks to enhance coherence across EU ocean-related policies.
๐น The relationship between science and policy remains essential โ both must continuously invest in close collaboration to achieve effective results.
๐น Small, dedicated groups of experts can play a significant role in shaping global decisions โ the impact of individual contributions should not be underestimated.
๐น Policymakers are actively engaged and focused on key questions:
๐ What is the cost?
๐ Who will implement the actions?
๐ What are the timelines?
๐ Who is accountable?
๐น Dialogue formats at such events can be brief and intense โ requiring clear, concise communication.
๐น The success of a conference is defined by the people, not the venue โ 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. ๐
