Seaweed Day

see more

The Seaweed Day will cast light on one of the most promising regenerative ocean industry: seaweed. The event will propose a series of presentations by world-class experts discussing the potential of seaweed, its ecosystem services – with a focus on blue carbon and biodiversity, and the growing momentum around seaweed in Europe and Australia. The event will also feature numerous presentations from seaweed companies developing innovative products like bio-packaging, plant-based seafood or animal feed. Many seaweed products will be displayed in the event so the public can “touch” the diversity of applications of seaweed.

Designing climate adaptation pathways for atoll islands

 

see more

This scientific workshop will assess pathways for resilience to counter risks from climate change and ocean acidification, with a focus on atoll islands.

Which solutions are ready to put in practice right away, and which ones need more time to mature? Policymakers lack information about which solutions (mitigation and adaptation) are most effective today, which ones have the potential to be effective in the longer term, and what solutions could be combined over time. In other words, what can be done, when and where?

World plastic summit

Bringing scientists of the world together to tackle plastic pollution

see more

The theme of this inaugural summit is: Fostering global collaboration to accelerate plastics recycling and redesign.

The plastics pollution crisis is one of the most urgent challenges of our time. While plastic pollution is a global problem, research and innovation in this area is not yet globally connected. However, the steps to ultimately tackle this problem will necessitate collaboration and perspective on a global scale.To that end, the first annual World Plastics Summit is being organized to assemble international research leaders in plastics recycling and redesign in Monaco. This meeting will be held on March 24-26 at the Novotel Monte Carlo Hotelas part of the prestigiousMonaco Ocean Week 2022.
