On June 1, 2021 please join PGA in virtual attendance of the UN High-Level Debate on the Ocean convened during the 75th Session of the UN General Assembly.

The President of the General Assembly has convened this meeting to support the positive momentum of implementation of SDG14, and to provide a progress update on the achievement of SDG14 and the ocean related goals

The one-day high-level thematic debate will feature four multi-stakeholder panels. The panels will also provide an opportunity for UN Member States to engage in an interactive discussion with representatives from the relevant funds, programmes and agencies of the UN System that are delivering on the vision for a healthy ocean, for people and for planet

These interactive discussions serve as a reminder of the commitments that were made in PGA's Praia Plan of Action, and as an opportunity to engage colleagues and other government officials regarding the ratification of the IMO's Cape Town Agreement and the creation of new Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
