UN Ocean Conference

Co-organised by the governments of France and Costa Rica, the third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) will take place in Nice from 9 to 13 June, 2025.

UNOC3 will be focused on “Accelerating action and mobilising all actors to conserve and sustainably use the ocean”. The conference aims to foster urgent and expanded action to conserve and sustainably use the ocean, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development and to identify further ways to support the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14. It will build on existing instruments to forge effective partnerships toward the swift conclusion and efficient implementation of ongoing processes that contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of the ocean.
