OCTOBER 13

Introduction

H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco and H.R.H. Prince Carl Philip of Sweden

The day will be split into 3 panel discussions 

Panel 1: Solutions for the Oceans 

  Effectively addressing the multiple and interacting pressures on the oceans require the mobilisation of diverse competencies, capacities and knowledge systems. Traditional conservation approaches, rational use of resources, innovative technologies and new partnerships, are all needed. During this session, we will explore and learn from a number of proven and scalable solutions that generate ecological,
social and economic benefits.

Speakers:

Vanessa Rothschild, H&M Conscious 

 Inger Andersen, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)

H.E. Mr Bernard Fautrier, Vice-President and CEO, Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation 

Karolina Skog, Swedish Minister for the Environment

Lisa Svensson, Director Ocean, UN Environment

Henrik Österblom,  Associate professor & Deputy Science Director, Stockholm Resilience Centre (moderator)

Panel 2: Future of Seafood

Seafood brings benefits to both human health and environmental sustainability. Increasing pressure from pollution and over-fishing as well as climate change threaten global stocks and also future potential for aquaculture. This session will discuss the future of seafood and how can we learn from each other to make changes that are needed to move towards sustainable seafood systems.

Sweden and Monaco share a deep commitment to the
preservation of our oceans as well as a clear intention to support the
implementation of sustainable development goal number 14 of the Agenda
2030 - SDG14. The two countries also have a strong will to engage
government agencies, academia, companies and civil societies in these
efforts as a broad approach that has proven to be key to success.

By organizing a follow-up event to The Ocean Conference in New York
in June 2017, Sweden and Monaco wish to join hands in moving from words
to deeds in facilitating the exchange of experiences and know-how in
dealing with the preservation of our oceans.

At the core of our attention  lie the Baltic and the Mediterranean
Seas - and the links between them. Strong local ownership and commitment
to improve the situation in the Baltic and the Mediterranean Seas has
led to dedicated research and concrete, solutions-oriented cooperation
between actors across the board – governments, regional and local
authorities, academia, agencies and companies.

By focusing on the local level – the Baltic and the Mediterranean
Seas – the conference will draw conclusions and showcase proven and
scalable solutions with both ecological and economic benefits. The
results and the solutions produced locally are, however, most likely to
have strong relevance for other seas and oceans. The conference in
Monaco in October will thereby contribute to create momentum for global
action to implement SDG 14.

On this occasion a forward looking Swedish-Monegasque Cooperation
Agreement in the area of SDG 14 will be signed by the governments of the
two countries.

In connection with the conference an array of business oriented as
well as cultural activities focusing on sustainable innovations will
take place.
