Shaping Global Ocean-Climate Action &
Creating Legal Waves at the 3rd UN Ocean Conference

COSIS will participate in the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference as a UN-accredited intergovernmental organization and has curated a number of events and initiatives that place law at the heart of the conversation on the protection and preservation of the climate system of which the ocean forms an integral part.

These include panel discussions, declarations open letter — all focusing on the COSIS advisory opinion obtained from ITLOS or reinforcing the role of the law in shaping global ocean-climate action and in improving ocean governance.
