France and Costa Rica are jointly organizing the third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) in Nice, from 9 to 13 June 2025.

This third Ocean Conference will seek to support the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG 14) on the marine environment (currently the least funded of all SDGs) with three priorities, in order to produce an ambitious draft agreement:

• Working towards completion of multilateral processes linked to the oceans, to boost ambition for their protection;
• Mobilizing sources of finance to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development (SDG 14) and support the development of a sustainable blue economy;
• Strengthening and better disseminating knowledge linked to marine science to enhance policy-making.

The Nice Ocean Action Plan, made up of a political declaration and a list of voluntary commitments from stakeholders, will be adopted following international discussions during the Conference.

Each morning, there will be plenary sessions where UN Member States will make statements on their commitment to the ocean. Each afternoon, there will be two dialogue sequences bringing together Member States, UN organizations and civil society representatives (NGOs, scientists, companies). These dialogues, known as “Ocean Action Panels”, will encourage commitment from various stakeholders, the creation of coalitions and projects for the ocean. They will allow the Conference to be a driver of action by proposing concrete solutions with all participants.
