Science and technology have a central role in ocean sustainability, including knowledge-sharing, technology transfer, and capacity building to build the ocean we need for the future we want. The meeting will share insights and recommendations to compose the O20 Comuniqué considering strategies to strengthen the synergy between G20 and the Ocean Decade within the broad ocean roadmap until 2030.
The role of science in paving ocean sustainable economy and setting targets for a blue transition will also be addressed. The panel will delve into key recommendations for the G20, focusing on the pivotal role of industry and science in driving the transition towards a sustainable blue economy. With representatives from leading ocean industry players, the discussion aims to highlight actionable strategies and targets necessary for fostering this transition within the G20 framework while strengthening the objectives of the Ocean Decade.
