UNOC3 – the Third UN Ocean Conference
UNOC3, the Third UN Ocean Conference, will be co-hosted by France and Costa Rica and held in Nice, France, from 9 – 13 June 2025.
The high-level conference supports implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14 (Life Below Water), and aims to generate new urgency in global efforts to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and all marine resources.
In 2024, as part of preparations for UNOC3, the United Nations (UN) System in Georgetown and the French Diplomatic Office in Guyana co-organized an edition of ‘Blue Talks’, a multi-stakeholder discussion and debate involving more than 40 partners working on ocean health in Guyana. During the meeting, participants discussed food, fishing, livelihoods, raising finance for ocean sustainability, the value of ocean science, and eliminating marine pollution.
The key points from the meeting can be viewed in this comic strip, generated with the use of AI in partnership between the UN, the French Diplomatic Office in Guyana, and Guyanese tech firm V75.
