UN Ocean Conference 2025
The United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC) is the most important - global - event dedicated to the protection and sustainable use of the ocean. It serves as a platform for governments, scientists, NGOs, businesses, and civil society to collaborate on solutions to the ocean crisis, with a strong focus on achieving Sustainable Development Goal 14 (Life Below Water).
The third edition of this conference, UNOC3, will be held in Nice in 2025, co-hosted by France and Costa Rica. This major international event will bring together world leaders and ocean experts to accelerate global commitments, foster innovative solutions, and strengthen cooperation for the future of our seas.
For the MARRES program, UNOC3 represents a unique opportunity to engage with global ocean stakeholders, highlight the importance of interdisciplinary marine science education, and contribute to the dialogue on ocean conservation and sustainable blue economies. Our faculty and students will be actively involved, particularly in initiatives aimed at public engagement and civil society, reinforcing our commitment to making ocean science more accessible and impactful.
Through workshops, outreach events, and collaborative projects, we will showcase the role of education, research, and innovation in addressing marine conservation challenges. UNOC3 is more than a conference—it is a call to action, and MARRES is proud to be part of it.
