<\/p>\nBrest will host from February 9 to 11, 2022, \u201cOne Ocean Summit\u201d, the first international summit dedicated to the preservation of the ocean and organized on the initiative of the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron. This major event will bring together scientists, economic and regional actors as well as the United Nations to make commitments to strengthen international ocean governance.<\/p>\n
The goal of the One Ocean Summit is to raise the collective level of ambition of the international community on marine issues and to translate our shared responsibility to the ocean into tangible commitments.<\/p>\n
On 9 and 10 February, more than thirty events (workshops, forums, roundtables and other initiatives) will be held ahead of the high-level segment, to engage the \u201cinternational maritime community\u201d, addressing a myriad topics of global scope to look at all dimensions of the ocean and propose solutions, beyond the existing status assessments.<\/p>\n
On 11 February in the morning, President Emmanuel Macron will bring together a small but determined group of Heads of State and Government, leaders of multilateral institutions, business leaders and civil society policymakers to take ambitious commitments. Several important initiatives will be launched on this occasion in favour of marine ecosystem protection and sustainable fisheries, intended to fight pollution, in particular from plastics, respond to the impacts of climate change, as well as advocate for improved governance of the oceans.<\/p>\n
All events scheduled during the three days of the One Ocean Summit will take place at Ateliers des Capucins. Several other events open to the public will be held in a number of sites in the city of Brest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
During the One Ocean Summit, Plan Bleu will be mobilized on the workshop entitled “MEDITERRANEAN, 2030” on Wednesday February 9 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Our President Guillaume Sainteny will speak on the subject of Mediterranean conservation and the need to increase marine protected areas.<\/p>\n
