2025 UN Ocean Conference Side Events -Apply now
Member States, the UN system, Intergovernmental Organizations, and accredited non-governmental stakeholders are invited to organize side events in connection with the 2025 UN Ocean Conference. These events can be held either in-person or virtually. Side events offer a valuable opportunity for participants to exchange knowledge, present solutions for advancing SDG 14, highlight emerging issues, share national and local experiences, and showcase voluntary commitments related to the Voluntary Ocean Commitments.
The side events should align with the main theme of the 2025 UN Ocean Conference: “Accelerating action and mobilizing all actors to conserve and sustainably use the ocean.” Events should focus on innovative strategies to support the achievement of SDG 14.
Priority will be given to events organized by Member States and those conducted in collaboration with multiple networks or organizations. Interested parties are strongly encouraged to collaborate with others when planning side events.
Side events can take place (1) in-person within the Conference Venue (Blue Zone), (2) in-person at other locations in Nice, or (3) virtually.
