![]() Heraldo Muñoz, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Chile, informed participants that the Second Our Oceans Conference had generated US$2.1 billion in ocean commitments. |
||
Over 500 participants attended the meeting from 56 countries, representing governments, intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, academia and the private sector. An additional 900 participants joined two parallel events at the National Congress and Federico Santa María Technical University. The conference began with a high-level opening. Additional high-level segments focused on ocean commitments and a regional high-level segment. Participants convened in six panels over the two-day conference on: marine protected areas (MPAs); ocean acidification; marine pollution; ocean champions; sustainable fisheries; local communities; and law of the sea governance. The Conference generated US$2.1 billion in commitments on oceans. Commitments focused on, inter alia: tackling illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing; creating and expanding MPAs; addressing marine debris and marine pollution; and raising awareness on oceans and building capacity to address ocean challenges. |
