SEI at the UN Ocean Conference: Advancing Coastal Resilience and Ocean Governance
From June 9–13, the United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice, France, brings global leaders together to tackle ocean-related challenges. The Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), a leading international non-profit in environmental and sustainable development research, will play a key role at both the main event and the preceding One Ocean Science Congress.
SEI experts Karina Barquet and Charlotte Wagner will contribute insights and host side events focused on:
Coastal resilience – Helping communities adapt to climate risks through tools like early warning systems, mangrove restoration, and sustainable spatial planning.
Inclusive governance – Co-creating solutions with Indigenous Peoples, youth, and small-scale fishers often excluded from decision-making.
A sustainable blue economy – Promoting co-existence among offshore industries through innovations like multi-use infrastructure.
Stronger ocean governance – Aligning global and local efforts to address pollution and marine stressors, including through new models and treaties.
Science-to-policy impact – Ensuring that research informs action by bridging the gap between science and decision-making.
SEI will also help launch a new global coastal resilience community of practice, building on momentum from the recent UN SIDS conference.
The Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) stands as a global leader in advancing environmental and sustainable development solutions. Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Sweden, SEI is an international non-profit research organization that works at the intersection of science, policy, and practice.
