The conference will showcase the progress made in monitoring, restoring and regenerating the ocean, seas and coastal areas, transitioning from research and innovation to local deployment, also through the development of the Digital Twin of the Ocean. It will highlight the international efforts, measures and innovative solutions aimed at regenerating marine biodiversity and ecosystems, enhancing climate mitigation and adaptation at the climate-ocean nexus, and increasing the resilience of coastal communities to severe weather events, such as storms and hurricanes, along with ice-melting and sealevel rise. Additionally, the conference will explore the resilience and security of water systems at the land-sea interface during climate change related extreme events, such as droughts and floods.
The event will feature strategic mobilisation initiatives involving G7 countries, with particular focus on the EU Mission ‘Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030’, as well as the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership, the All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance, and the Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area PRIMA.
