Earth Observations in support of Climate mitigation and adaptation.
The event will take an integrated approach across several activities and programmes of WMO through a logical framework that goes from setting up the scene to the use of observations in the context of NDC, GST, and integrated environmental policies and finishing with the panel discussion on the financing of the sustainable observations.
Harnessing Ocean Observations for Sustainable Development and Coastal Resilience.
As our planet faces the consequences of climate change, one of the most pressing challenges we confront is the rising sea levels, damaging floods from storm surges. The gradual encroachment of the seas upon our coastlines threatens coastal communities, ecosystems, and economies around the world. In the face of this imminent threat, innovative strategies and solutions are emerging to mitigate the impacts of rising seas.
Empowering Youth, Promoting Equality, and Driving Innovation.
Honoring Successful youth leaders.
The event seeks to advance impactful climate solutions by uniting youth leaders, gender equality advocates, and innovation experts. Through keynote speeches, panel discussions, and collaborative dialogue, the summit will highlight the essential role of young voices, equitable representation, and technological progress in driving climate resilience. This gathering aims to inspire practical commitments and forge partnerships that contribute to a sustainable.
Youth Leadership and Expert Representatives on the Future of Coral Reefs.
This session brings together emerging youth leaders and seasoned experts to discuss the critical state of coral reefs and the urgent need for innovative solutions. Participants will explore the intersection of youth activism, scientific research, and policy-making, highlighting how young voices can drive meaningful change in marine conservation. Experts will provide insights into the current threats facing coral ecosystems, including climate change, pollution, and overfishing, while youth leaders will share grassroots initiatives.
Sea level rise: A global problem with local impact.
We had the honor to have H.E. Hon. Senator Whitehouse of the USA.
Sea level rise is already disrupting local communities, economies, and infrastructure around the world, with the potential to affect us all. We will discuss the potential implications and possible solutions to sea level rise at different scales and for a wide range of communities with vastly different resource
Regional Action on Climate Change.
We had the honor to have H.E. Hon. Senator Whitehouse of the USA.
We had the honor to have H.E. prof. Adel EL-Beltagy , Former Minister of Agriculture of Egypt, the chair of the International Dry land Development Commission (IDDC).
The session discusses the climate change impact on the hydrological cycle and coastal vulnerability of the river deltas with special emphasis on the Nile Delta of Egypt.
MHMC and OPRISPF session in the Ocean Pavilion, COP29
This session evaluates the impacts of climate change on vulnerable habitats, focusing on ecosystems that are particularly sensitive to environmental shifts. As global temperatures rise and weather patterns become increasingly erratic, habitats such as wetlands, coral reefs, and mangrove regions face significant threats.Through a comprehensive review of current literature and case studies, we assess the direct and indirect effects of climate change, including habitat degradation, species extinction, and altered ecosystem services.
Empowering Coastal Communities through Nature-Based Solutions.
This session aligns with the core objectives of promoting sustainable practices and fostering innovation to tackle ocean-related challenges. Within the realm of Ocean Solutions & Innovation, the discussion in this session contributes significantly by highlighting the importance of community involvement, the utilization of nature-based strategies, and the necessity of filling knowledge gaps to enhance preparedness at both local and global levels.
Unlocking Sustainable Growth: Exploring the Blue Economy in Africa and Developing Nations.
The Blue Economy presents a transformative opportunity for Africa and developing nations to harness the potential of their marine resources sustainably. This event investigates the implications, challenges, and promising pathways associated with fostering a thriving Blue Economy in these regions. By examining the intersection of economic development, environmental conservation, and social equity, this exploration seeks to uncover the untapped opportunities that lie within the seas and oceans.
