Last month, I had the chance to go to the #MonacoOceanWeek 🇲🇨 with local & international experts and civil society organizations, including professionals from the Ocean & Climate Platform, to attend their two side-events related to public policies implemented by the French Secretariat of State for the Sea and Biodiversity (Secrétariat d’État chargé de la Mer et de la Biodiversité) and also to interview professionals in the field: 1️⃣ Adapting coastal cities and communities to tackle sea level rise 🌊 Global sea level rise is caused by the increased melting of land-based ice, such as glaciers and ice sheets. With ocean warming and high levels of greenhouse gas emissions, sea level will continue to rise at higher rates, according to experts. This phenomenon results in extreme weather events and major repercussions for coastal cities: land loss, flooding, coastal erosion, ecosystem degradation, and so on. In its Global Risks Report 2024 (https://lnkd.in/epZpQCgf), World Economic Forum showed us that extreme weather events were seen as “the second-most severe risk over the two-year time frame", and also, nearly all environmental risks featured among the 10 global risks over the longer term (ten-years time frame): extreme weather events, critical change to Earth systems, and biodiversity loss. Sea level rise and coastal adaptation still remain under-addressed but they recently have been defined as a clear political priority. They will be addressed and discussed at the next United Nations Ocean Conference #UNOC3 🇺🇳in Nice in June 2025, during an inaugural international event. ➡️To better understand this phenomenon with Lisa Devignol : https://lnkd.in/eYbAJB9p 2️⃣ “Let's Be Nice to the Ocean”: an initiative to prepare for the UNOC 3 In June 2025, the Governments of France and Costa Rica 🇫🇷🇨🇷 will co-organize the third UN Ocean Conference in Nice. They have mandated Remi Parmentier (The Varda Group) and Loreley Picourt (Ocean & Climate Platform) to co-facilitate the participation of civil society in Nice. Civil society organizations play a crucial role in ocean governance, their voices need to be heard and their ideas need to be taken into account. 💬They were invited to share their innovative, actionable and relevant ideas to https://lnkd.in/e7M_igSS in order to protect the ocean. 🔔Find out more about this initiative (all the interviews are in English with French subtitles) :  - Interview with Rémi Parmentier on “3 immediate opportunities” : The Deep Sea, Antarctica and the Southern Ocean and the Mediterranean : https://lnkd.in/e7KhUvFj  - Interview with Loreley Picourt on the role of #civilsociety organizations ⬇️ #UNOceanConference #sealevelrise #coastaladaptation

[Interview en anglais avec sous-titres français / Interview in English with French subtitles ] 🇫🇷🇬🇧 #UNOC3 🇺🇳 | Une des priorités de la France, c’est de préparer la Conférence des Nations-Unies sur l’Océan à Nice en 2025 en faisant entendre les voix des organisations de la société civile.

Découvrez ses témoignages en vidéo ! “La Conférence des Nations Unies sur l'Océan à Nice est absolument essentielle pour accélérer la gouvernance de l'océan, que nous parlions de la haute mer, des fonds marins ou du nexus océan-climat-biodiversité. Nous avons donc besoin que les États membres s'engagent à atteindre des objectifs plus ambitieux en matière de gouvernance de l'océan» - a partagé Loreley Picourt 🔔📆 Organisations de la société civile, vous êtes invitées à envoyer vos idées innovantes pour la conférence par e-mail à [email protected] ou via la plateforme https://lnkd.in/dEJVQ7fB  jusqu’au 30 avril 2024. 🔎Pour aller plus loin :  En amont de l’UNOC 3, The Varda Group et la Ocean & Climate Platform ont co-facilité une consultation intitulée “Un appel à toutes les voix de l’océan” qui résume les contributions de 125 organisations de la société civile à travers le monde sur les thématiques liées à l’océan : https://lnkd.in/etiN6tb6 Ambassade de France Costa Rica | Dona Bertarelli | Fondation Tara Océan | MedPAN | Fondation Prince Albert II de Monaco | Ocean Born Foundation | TBA21 | Let's Be Nice to the Ocean #Civilsociety #Sociétécivile #LetsbeNicetotheOcean #BeNicetotheOcean #UNOceanConference
