Join us at the UN Ocean Conference in Nice to discuss China’s role in marine protection

How is civil society contributing to ocean protection in China and beyond?

Attempts to address problems facing the ocean must engage China, yet there is limited knowledge of the country’s approach to vital areas such as marine conservation and fisheries.

At the UN Ocean Conference in Nice, Dialogue Earth is joining with Qingdao Marine Conservation Society and other leading NGOs to bring together experts in marine conservation, coastal management, fisheries and civil society to discuss this topic.

Join us in the meeting’s Green Zone to learn more about civil society’s role in advancing the 30×30 target and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 14 in China and globally. This session will foster constructive dialogue, highlight China’s evolving policies and strategies, and enhance collaboration on conservation and sustainable ocean use.
