Protecting Our Blue Planet André Abreu and Doug Mair

Event details

Warming seas, plastic pollution, overfishing - our oceans are at risk, and our future depends on them, wherever we live on this planet.

Our oceans are vital carbon sinks and generate most of the oxygen on our planet. We urgently need to better understand them so that we can protect them and use them sustainably.

Echoing the 2025 UN Ocean Conference in Nice, our panel of experts from France and the UK will discuss the challenges our oceans face, what scientists are doing to help preserve them and their biodiversity, and why it is important to raise public awareness of the plight of the oceans.

This event is part of the Festival Focus ‘Securing Our Future’ presented in collaboration with the French Embassy in the UK. You may also be interested in ‘AI and the Future of Work' taking place on Friday 13 June.
