The Government of the Republic of Indonesia will host the fifth Our Ocean Conference in Bali on 29 and 30 October 2018. Our Ocean Conference is focused on generating commitments and taking actions to maintain the sustainability of our oceans. Since 2014, Our Ocean Conference has successfully generated commitments totaling around 18 billion dollars (USD)… "Indonesia telah berkomitmen menjadi tuan rumah Our Ocean Conference pada tahun 2018 di Bali," kata Menteri Kelautan dan Perikanan Susi Pudjiastuti di Jakarta, Kamis. Menteri Susi sebelumnya juga telah menghadiri acara tersebut yang pada tahun 2016 ini diselenggarakan oleh Kementerian Luar Negeri AS di negara adidaya tersebut pada 15-16 September. “The Our Ocean conference is key to maintaining political will on ocean action,” said Courtney Farthing of the NGO Global Fishing Watch. “One simple but powerful way governments can begin this effort is to take a transparent approach to ocean governance: publishing key data on human activity in the sea,” Farthing added. This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged. In celebration and support of the life and livelihood that the ocean sustains, UN WOD 2021 will feature keynotes, panel discussions and presentations that spotlight biodiversity, latest oceanic discoveries, the interconnectivity between the ocean and its ecosystems, and more. Participants in the third Our Ocean conference, held September 15-16 in Washington, D.C., announced over 136 new initiatives on marine conservation and protection valued at more than $5.24 billion, as well as new commitments on the protection of almost four million square kilometers (over 1.5 million square miles) of the ocean. The conference press release notes that since its inception in 2014, Our Ocean Conference has produced more than 1,800 commitments worth nearly USD 108 billion. The conference featured panels on six areas of action. The panel on ‘Creating Sustainable Blue Economies’ focused on “blue recovery” from the COVID-19 pandemic towards ocean OHPwh.
