“Local transformation for global impact: Sustainable blue economy and multi-stakeholder governance to advance SDG 14” is an official side event of the United Nations World Ocean Conference (UNOC3), organised by Bermeo Tuna World Capital together with the Local2030 Coalition and UN Etxea. The event highlights the role of local action, territorial governance and multi-stakeholder partnerships as drivers of a sustainable blue economy, sharing experiences and solutions developed in the Basque Country, Hawaii, Paraná and Shizuoka to advance ocean protection and the achievement of SDG 14.
“Accelerating Ocean Sustainability through Gender Equality” was a roundtable discussion that explored how to accelerate the goals of SDG 14 (Life Below Water) by directly linking them to SDG 5 (Gender Equality), with the aim of placing gender equality at the core of marine and fisheries governance.
