"One Sustainable Ocean" - For a more sustainable sea

From June 27 to July 1, in parallel with the 2nd United Nations Conference on the Ocean, the One Sustainable Ocean initiative will take place, anchored in two main events - Ocean Science and Business2sea and Ocean Literacy Week - which will include a wide range of activities in different venues in the city of Lisbon.

The program includes workshops, exhibitions, cinema, art, music, debates, demonstrations and businesses, with the aim of broadening knowledge and awareness about the importance of the ocean, promoting its sustainable use and demonstrating the opportunities it can represent, as well as providing numerous opportunities for sharing about the future of the ocean, sustainability, the circular economy, science, blue economy business models and innovation.

FCT, together with Lisbon City Council, Fórum Oceano and Pavilhão do Conhecimento - Centro Ciência Viva, among other entities, is involved in the organization of the One Sustainable Ocean initiative, more specifically in the space dedicated to science - Ocean Science and Business2sea - which is taking place under the roof of the Pavilhão de Portugal, in Parque das Nações.

The Ocean Science and Business2sea sub-event is an opportunity to highlight and value the work and action that Portugal has been developing in the areas of science, innovation and blue entrepreneurship, projecting the country at national and international level. The overall aim of Ocean Science and Business2sea is to present developments in knowledge, as well as technological developments and their applications, in a scientific and business context, in favor of ocean sustainability and how they are contributing to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, namely Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14.
