Modern threats of climate change, coastal vulnerability and endangered ecosystems have put our arctic and marine environments, as well as our own existence, in great peril. Because of these dangers, we are now confronted with one of the most serious environmental challenges of our time: global warming and an impending ocean crisis.
The International Ocean Institute's 32nd Pacem in Maribus conference, Waves of Change , will break new ground by empowering women and youth to promote the peaceful and sustainable use of marine resources and sound ocean governance. The conference will bring together key and influential stakeholders including representatives from government, NGOs and educational institutions to develop new approaches, effective solutions and actionable outcomes at overcoming ocean threats.
