The Fifth Global Conference on Oceans, Coasts, and Islands concluded on Friday, 7 May, at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, France.
On Friday evening, participants finished the two-day policy portion of the Conference. Throughout the day, delegates heard four panels on: SIDS and Mauritius Strategy implementation in the context of climate change vulnerabilities; promoting further engagement of the global ocean science and policy community and reinforcing the science-policy interface; implementation of best practices in integrated, ecosystem-based ocean and coastal management at national and regional levels; and improved governance of marine areas beyond national jurisdiction. Delegates also heard an address by Francine Cousteau, President of the Cousteau Society, after lunch.
The day ended with a plenary session on "Moving Forward with the Global Oceans Agenda," including reports on recommendations of the roundtables, and special addresses by Jean-Michel Cousteau, Ocean Futures Society, Felix Dodds, Stakeholder Forum, and by Karl Falkenberg, Director General, DG Environment, European Commission. UNESCO-IOC Executive Secretary Wendy Watson-Wright declared the conference closed at 7:29pm, after which participants enjoyed a farewell reception with live jazz music.
