THE OCEAN COUNTDOWN: Dine, Design, Do

Uniting ocean solutions, projects and investments for a blue future

Sea levels rise, and our ocean reaches devastating tipping points as the planet warms. We know the time to act is now. The health of our ocean is inextricably tied to the health of humanity and the stability of our planetary systems. As our strongest ally, the ocean is not just a victim of climate change, but an underestimated and under-financed host of solutions . This event will shed light on the ocean's critical, yet untapped potential, to mobilize collaboration, investment and action for ocean solutions. It's time to recognize, connect to, and harness the power of our blue solutions to secure a resilient and sustainable future.

Who’s attending and why join us

We know partnerships and collaboration are at the core of what is needed to create a thriving future we all want, so we have carefully curated speakers and attendees who are critical in shaping this.

Innovators, who have created innovations and solutions for ocean and coastal resilience.

Enablers, project owners and community developers, who have developed the enabling conditions for solution adoption.

Financiers and impact investors that are seeking implementation-ready and investable solutions, projects and initiatives globally.

If you represent any of the groups above we would love to have you be part of our growing community, and to join us at this event. If not and you share our vision for a thriving blue planet for our communities, we want you to join us too.

Event flow

Join us for a series of curated conversations and interactive stations, diving into ocean solutions as a primary and critical ingredient for tackling climate change. Reflecting on our four themes while dining, designing and doing, you will flow through and co-design solutions based on What We Take, What We Waste, What We Protect, What We Repair.

Come join us and fill up our octopus hearts and let’s work together to make waves of change for this unsung climate hero - our ocean - through a transformative experience during NYC Climate Week 2024.
