The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for a wide range of ocean experts and stakeholders to engage with the latest developments impacting on ocean governance from developmental, ecosystem based and humanrights based approaches, before starting to reflect and give direction on what transformed and transformative ocean governance means and requires.

In the preamble of Transforming our world: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the outcome document of the United Nations Summit for the Adoption of the post-2015 Development Agenda adopted by Resolution 70/1 of 25 September 2015, the UN General Assembly resolved "to free the human race from the tyranny of poverty and want and to heal and secure our planet". It also indicated that it was “determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world on to a sustainable and resilient path" and pledged that "no one will be left behind". Sharing the same resolve, determination and pledge, the organisers of this conference structured the event on the premises that:

• It is imperative to transform the way humankind impacts and relies on the

oceans;

• To that end, ocean governance needs to assume a transformative role;

• In order to do so, ocean governance needs to be transformed.

The conference runs for three days from 22 - 24 January 2020
