Peace Boat will be docking in New York City this October 16 and 17! A special Blue Innovation Reception will be held onboard on the afternoon of Friday October 17, bringing together diverse actors working to find innovative solutions to accelerate ocean and climate action. The event will showcase the importance of blue innovation and partnerships for transformation towards sustainable and resilient societies as we work towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Featuring keynote speeches, panel discussions, live music and performances, the event will bring together hundreds of representatives from the diplomatic community, the United Nations, foundations, civil society and the private sector, with a focus on blue ocean industry technology and sharing best practices for responsible ocean stewardship. The event will also highlight the outcomes of the UN Ocean Conference for a sustainable blue economy as we work towards COP 30 in Brazil this November. Peace Boat will present its upcoming “Youth for the SDGs” scholarship program, an officially endorsed ‘Contribution’ to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development by IOC UNESCO, and Ecoship, an environmentally sustainable passenger ship, working towards decarbonization of the maritime sector and innovative solutions for a sustainable blue economy.
