The Ocean is under threat from combined pressures such as climate change, overfishing, pollution, and conflicting uses. It is also a source of solutions, for example to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The Ocean urgently needs decisive, swift, and unified efforts to address its critical condition and maximize the solutions it offers. This presents a major challenge for the global community at the Third United Nations Conference on the Oceans (UNOC3), to be held in Nice from 9 to 13 June 2025. The goal is to spur action and implement SDG 14, which is the least funded of all Sustainable Development Goals.
The One Ocean Science Congress will be organised in Nice, France on 4-6 June 2025. The Congress will feature a mix of plenary sessions, including opening and keynote speeches, alongside parallel oral and poster presentations. To enhance interactions between science and society, action and policy, and to engage civil society more broadly, ‘townhalls’ such as panels and roundtables will also be arranged.
The One Ocean Science Congress is organised by CNRS and IFREMER and it is a special event of the 3rd United Nations Conference on the Ocean Endorsed by the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
The abstract submission deadline is Thursday, 14 November 2024, 13:00 CET. Please see more information on their website: https://one-ocean-science-2025.org/home.html
