The 2021 World Ocean Summit & Expo agenda will deliver fresh, robust, and action-oriented insights into creating a sustainable ocean economy. Audience size will increase to 2000 participants and the scope will be broadened to encourage attendance from more industry leaders. We will retain the focus on high-level conversation and policymaking and seek solutions to accelerate appropriate action.
We will expand our program to deliver action-oriented, industry-focused sessions along six tracks: aquaculture, fishing, energy, plastics, shipping, and tourism. In addition, participants will be able to engage across sectors to explore the role the ocean plays in tackling climate change, enhancing biodiversity, protecting coastal communities, and restoring ecosystems. At the core of the summit and featuring in every track, will be the role of finance.
