United Nations World Oceans Day

UN World Oceans Day 2024 will take us on a journey of discovery through the ocean’s vastness, tapping into the wisdom and expertise of global policy-makers, scientists, managers, thought leaders, and artists to awaken new depths of understanding, compassion, collaboration and commitment for the ocean and all it sustains.

We do not have time for “out of sight, out of mind.” Our relationship to the ocean needs to urgently change, and our efforts have only skimmed the surface to date. To motivate widespread momentum for the ocean, we need to awaken new depths.

Join us on 7 June 2024 as we dive beneath the surface and explore new depths of: understanding, compassion, collaboration, commitment, and more.

UN World Oceans Day 2024 is hosted by the Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (DOALOS) of the Office of Legal Affairs in partnership with Oceanic Global.
*While the official UN designation for World Oceans Day is 8 June,
the 2024 event will be celebrated on Friday, 7 June.
