Davos 2021 - Shaping a New Ocean Economy (Option 1) - english

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the fragility of ocean economies, most acutely felt in Small Island Developing States (SIDS).

This session is associated with the following projects and initiatives of the World Economic Forum: Friends of Ocean Action, and the Sustainable Development Investment Partnership (SDIP). <i>The first part of this session is open to the public online; the second is only accessible via TopLink.<i>
