In support of preparations for the third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3), the United Nations (UN) System in Georgetown collaborated with the French Diplomatic Office in Guyana to organise an edition of ‘Blue Talks’, a multi-stakeholder discussion and debate, a UN Guyana release said yesterday.
The UNOC3 is scheduled to take place in Nice, France in June 2025, and will be hosted by France and Costa Rica.
Minister of Natural Resources, Vickram Bharrat, who delivered the opening remarks ahead of World Oceans Day (June 8), highlighted Guyana’s commitment to “balance economic development and preservation of the environment.” Referencing that the 2025 Oceans Conference will be held under the theme “Accelerating action and mobilizing all actors to conserve and sustainably use the ocean”, Bharrat welcomed the statements from a group of more than 50 participants, whilst highlighting Guyana’s global climate leadership.
