Commitment area: Confronting the Ocean-Climate Crisis

The conference organizers will prepare the provisional conference agenda based on commitments accepted until February 16, 2022. The organizers will consider commitment submissions after that time on a case-by-case basis.

Commitments should advance at least one of the six Areas of Action: Climate Change, Sustainable Fisheries, Sustainable Blue Economies, Marine Protected Areas, Maritime Security, and Marine Pollution. Please note that the ocean-climate nexus, including ocean-based climate solutions, and the importance of a healthy ocean to Small Island Developing States will be cross-cutting priorities of the 7th Our Ocean Conference. New commitments that relate to the theme “Our Ocean, Our People, Our Prosperity” will be particularly welcome. Commitments should be progressive, measurable, and impactful.

For protected area commitments, please also specify ‘Level of Protection’: (minimally; lightly; highly; or fully), and the size and coordinates of the protected area. If the protected area is zoned, the different protection levels and areas of each zone should be described in the ‘impact’ section.
