Als kustbewoner hebben mijn voorouders generaties lang geleefd met de zee, gewerkt op de zee en genoten van de zee. In harmonie en balans. Mijn wens is dat de generaties na mij dit ook kunnen. Daarvoor moet nu actie worden ondernomen. Time's up!

Recognise that no stand taken for the ocean is a meaningless one! The challenges faced by the ocean may be enormous; but there is nothing we cannot overcome if we act together.

Local and Regional Governments and SDG 14

Many coastal cities and regions around the world are directly threatened by climate change and related risks, including sea-level rise, as well as the increase in extreme weather events that affect people's lives, ecosystems and economies. While several coastal cities and regions are developing plans on how to adapt to climate change, not all are prepared well enough. Furthermore, many citizens of coastal cities and regions depend directly on the ocean for their livelihoods, making it important to promote peer learning and sharing of good practices amongst cities and regions on how to promote a Blue Economy, encourage the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improve livelihoods and jobs, while protecting the ocean ecosystem health.

The 2022 UN Ocean Conference offers a unique opportunity for coastal cities and regions to mobilize and demonstrate leadership in taking action to protect our ocean and ensure that the ocean and its accompanying coast are sustainably managed.

Objectives of the event

To create awareness amongst cities and regions and their networks about the 2022 UN Ocean Conference, including the preparatory process, and opportunities of engagement.

To initiate a discussion on how to mobilize new Ocean Action commitments and initiatives by cities and regions that could become part of the outcome of the Conference.

Format

The event was held fully virtual on Zoom, on Thursday 17 February from 9-10:30 AM, EST. It featured opening remarks from senior representatives of the Conference's co-hosts, Portugal and Kenya, and remarks by the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for the Ocean, Ambassador Peter Thomson. The second half of the event featured a round table with interventions from representatives of key city networks, as well as representatives of local and regional governments from coastal areas across the globe, with due consideration of gender and geographical balance.

Target audience

Representatives of local and regional governments and their networks.

Organizers

The briefing was organized by UN DESA in its capacity as the secretariat of the 2022 UN Ocean Conference, UN Global Compact and the Climate Champions Team.

Small Island Developing States In this documentary, the sea narrates its history with the Haitian people. Wave after wave, the sea reveals its mysteries, nurtures our dreams, and sounds the alarm.

This film is an invitation to travel into the Haitian sea’s infinite shades of blue. It is also an attempt to raise awareness, inspire debate and boost ocean action.
