SUMMARY:Latinoamérica Azul: Amplifying Youth Voices for Ocean Conservation in Latin America
DESCRIPTION:This session will present the “Latinoamérica Azul” declaration\, the first youth-led document that outlines key demands and actionable recommendations for ocean conservation in Latin America. Created during the inaugural “Latinoamérica Azul” conference held in Costa Rica this past June\, the declaration captures the voices and perspectives of over 100 young ocean leaders from across the region. Key topics within the declaration—such as climate change\, marine protected areas\, and sustainable fisheries—are crucial for addressing the primary threats to coral ecosystems and halting their decline. By engaging a diverse group of young advocates and stakeholders\, this session aims to refine the declaration and develop a unified roadmap for presenting these youth-driven recommendations to regional policymakers. The enhanced declaration will serve as a strategic agenda for the upcoming UN Ocean Conference (UNOC) 2025 in Nice\, France\, ensuring that youth perspectives shape international\nocean conservation efforts. \nThis event will not only empower young voices but also create a network of advocates committed to driving ocean conservation efforts. We seek to amplify youth involvement in ocean governance\, ensuring the protection of our oceans for future generations. By aligning our efforts with UNOC 2025\, we aim to influence global ocean policy with a unified\, youth-driven agenda. \nLead Organisation: Sustainable Ocean Alliance (SOA) \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT AGENDA (.PDF) \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT SUMMARY (.PDF)

SUMMARY:Empowering Youth for Global Biodiversity: Ocean Leaders Driving Change
DESCRIPTION:This side event will spotlight youth-led projects from around the world that are actively contributing to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and promoting marine conservation. We will explore how young ocean leaders are overcoming challenges—such as limited funding and trust from stakeholders—to protect marine ecosystems and drive impactful change. \nThe event aims to celebrate the successes of these initiatives\, highlighting opportunities for young people to engage in marine biodiversity efforts and influence policy processes. We will delve into how youth can access essential funding\, the transformative role of trust-based philanthropy\, and the innovative actions happening in the field. \nBy showcasing these stories\, we hope to inspire more young leaders to join the movement for a sustainable and biodiverse future. \nLead Organisation: Sustainable Ocean Alliance (SOA) \nCo-organisation(s): Sustainable Ocean Alliance Costa Rica\, Sustainable Ocean Alliance México\, Sustainable Ocean Alliance Perú \n  \nDOWNLOAD THE AGENDA (.PDF) \nDOWNLOAD EVENT SUMMARY (.PDF)
